Using Healthy Workplace Scorecard

When to use this

Use this after interviews and before you accept, while your impressions are fresh and you can still ask follow-up questions. It also works as a periodic check on a job you already hold.

How to read the result

Read the low scores rather than the total. One low score on a factor you care little about is not a warning; a low score on the factor you weighted highest usually is. Culture questions are answered by what people do under pressure, so weight the evidence you saw over the values you were told.

What this tool cannot do

You are scoring a small sample: a few interviews and whatever you could observe. Teams inside the same company differ enormously, and the team you join matters more than the employer brand.

Next step

Take your two lowest scores and turn each into a direct question for the hiring manager before you decide. Ask about a specific recent situation rather than about values, because a concrete example is much harder to answer with a slogan.
