Sustainability Action Readiness Assessment (SARA)
Everybody counts
The Sustainability Action Readiness Assessment (SARA) is a survey-based assessment tool built by Kite Insights. It is designed to assess employees’ knowledge, engagement, and ability to act on sustainability in the context of their work, using Kite’s Head, Heart, and Hands Framework.
We built the SARA using years of experience in developing assessment tools and bespoke surveys, combined with our knowledge of the sustainability challenges businesses face, and communicating about them. To validate our approach, we consulted sustainability, transformation and behaviour change experts, and the World Benchmarking Alliance.
The SARA helps companies to:
- Set a baseline of employee readiness,
- Benchmark your workforce against peers,
- Identify specific pain-points and opportunities,
- Inform the development of learning and engagement journeys,
- Measure the impact employee engagement.
Why measure employee engagement in sustainability
facing business constitute a fundamental transformation for most companies. Such foundational change stands the
greatest change of success when all employees understand the “what”, “why” and “how” of it. Setting a baseline of where
employees are today from which to establish targets and a plan of action provides the foundation for success.
