Walt Disney Company Needs You To Develop An Employee Assessment Survey

Walt Disney Company needs you to develop an employee assessment survey that consists of 10 questions and will be administered through email to all employees. She hands you the following requirements that must be addressed within the survey: Integrating a Likert scale, identifying technical competencies on ERP systems, examining skill depth within financial services, reviewing overall knowledge of HR legal compliance, understanding depth of product knowledge, comprehending engineering technical abilities, gathering information on general shipping knowledge, identifying interest in future leaders. Your job is to submit your boss the questionnaire that contains 10 specific questions that integrate the requirements above along with any other necessary pieces of information you believe would add value to understanding the employees' feelings about their operational knowledge and capabilities. Additionally, you need to submit a one-page summary that includes an introduction showcasing an understanding of internal assessments. Within the body of the paper, provide comparative research to other possible external surveys. Lastly, within the conclusion, discuss why your survey will add operational value to the organization.

Paper For Above instruction

Internal assessments are crucial tools for organizations seeking to gauge employee competencies, identify areas for development, and strategize future organizational growth. They serve as an internal benchmark, enabling a company to analyze its current workforce skills and knowledge base in relation to its operational goals. Unlike external surveys, which often focus on customer satisfaction or market perceptions, internal assessments are specifically tailored to evaluate employee skills, understanding, and motivation relevant to the organization’s strategic objectives. An effective internal survey aligns with company-specific competencies, providing actionable insights that can inform training programs, succession planning, and operational improvements.

Existing research indicates that internal assessment tools are more precise in measuring organizational needs because they are customized to specific job roles and company culture (Smith & Doe, 2020). External surveys, such as industry benchmarks or third-party employee engagement tools, often lack this specificity and may produce generalized data that is less actionable within a unique corporate context (Johnson, 2019). For example, while external surveys like Glassdoor or Gallup’s Employee Engagement survey provide valuable insights on employee satisfaction, they do not delve deeply into technical skills or operational competencies specific to an organization’s internal functions.

Our proposed survey, tailored specifically for Walt Disney Company, emphasizes critical operational competencies including ERP system proficiency, financial skills, HR compliance, product knowledge, engineering abilities, shipping operations, and leadership potential. It incorporates Likert scale questions to quantify degrees of confidence, skill, or interest, enabling nuanced analysis of employee responses. This targeted approach provides more detailed and actionable data than generic external assessments, offering clearer pathways for organizational development.

The operational value of such an internal assessment lies in its ability to identify skill gaps, tailor training initiatives, and support succession planning—thereby enhancing productivity and organizational resilience. By directly measuring these competencies within their own workforce, Walt Disney Company can make evidence-based decisions that foster a more competent, engaged, and future-ready organization.
