Culture Assessment
At Radius, we are committed to uncovering the scientific principles that drive organizational success.
Culture assessments are more than just surveys; they are evidence-based tools grounded in organizational psychology that provide deep insights into the health and dynamics of your workplace.
Insights with Impact
At Radius, we believe in demystifying the science behind organizational well-being.
The Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model is a powerful theoretical framework that helps us understand and improve workplace dynamics. This model highlights the critical balance between job demands and resources, which are managed by organizational leaders. By effectively navigating these elements, leaders can create environments where employees not only meet expectations but excel.
Let's explore how the JD-R Model influences employee experiences and why achieving the right balance is key to long-term success.

The Radius Approach
Uncover Structural Workplace Challenges
Job demands are the challenges individuals face in their roles, demanding effort and often causing stress and burnout.
Job demands can range from high work pressure to heavy workloads to emotional strain.
Picture demands as hurdles impeding progress.
Impact on Outcomes:
Excessive demands can lead to burnout, decreased satisfaction, and diminished productivity.
It's a path that, if unchecked, can erode both individual well-being and organizational success.
Job resources are the supportive elements that enable individuals to tackle demands effectively.
Resources could include things like supervisor support or access to developmental training.
Think of resources as the fuel that propels you forward.
Impact on Outcomes:
Abundant resources cultivate engagement, job satisfaction, and enhanced performance.
They act as a shield against burnout, fostering an environment where employees not only endure challenges but conquer them.
The JD-R model has been developed and expanded upon in several academic publications by researchers
Bakker, A. B., & Demerouti, E.

The final aspect of the Radius culture assessment in capturing organizational values.
Values are the bedrock of any organization’s identity. Our assessments help organizations identify, reinforce, and embody their core values.
A values-driven culture builds trust, integrity, and a shared sense of purpose.
By aligning every aspect of the organization with its core values, from decision-making to employee behavior, we create an environment where everyone feels connected and committed to the same overarching goals.
When both job demands and job resources are low, employees often experience underperformance or stagnation. In this scenario, employees may not be sufficiently challenged, leading to a lack of motivation and engagement. Without adequate resources to support their roles, even the minimal demands can feel burdensome, resulting in apathy and disinterest.
In situations where job demands are high but job resources are low, employees are at a significant risk of experiencing burnout and stress. The heavy workload and high-pressure environment, combined with insufficient support and resources, can lead to exhaustion and overload. This imbalance strains employees' mental and physical well-being, often resulting in high turnover rates and decreased productivity.
When job demands are low but job resources are high, employees might feel complacent or comfortable. While they have the support and tools needed to excel, the lack of challenging tasks can lead to satisfaction but also potential relaxation or lack of drive. This environment might foster a positive atmosphere in the short term but could lead to disengagement if employees are not sufficiently stimulated.
The ideal scenario is when both job demands and job resources are high. In this setting, employees are likely to experience engagement and thriving. The combination of challenging tasks and ample resources enables employees to develop resilience and productivity. This balance fosters a supportive and dynamic work environment where employees can excel and contribute to the organization’s success.
