What The Energy Audit® measures
Capacity
Can people sustain the demands of their work?
Capacity reflects the energy people draw on and renew across four dimensions, revealing whether people have the resources to meet demands without continually depleting their reserves.
Physical Energy
Sleep, movement, nutrition, and rest that sustain stamina.
Emotional Energy
Emotional awareness, stress recovery, and supportive relationships.
Mental Energy
Focus, prioritization, and space for clear thinking and new ideas.
Spiritual Energy
Connection to values, purpose, and meaningful contribution.
Effectiveness
Can people deliver results as demands shift?
Workplace Effectiveness reflects how successful people are at delivering results in the face of complexity, demand, and change, both as individual contributors and in collaboration with others.
Agility
Managing reactions, considering other perspectives, maintaining a growth mindset, and responding to setbacks, whatever form the challenge takes.
Collaboration
Team commitment, elevating others, and managing feedback, the everyday interactions that move work forward or get in its way.
Your engagement survey gives you a number. The Energy Audit explains what is driving that number.
An engagement survey delivers a clear signal of how motivated, satisfied, and connected employees are to the organization. The Energy Audit gives meaning to that number with clarity into the root causes and tangible practices people can start influencing directly.

Does your organization run a regular engagement survey? The Energy Audit shows you what's driving the number, and the specific practices you can influence to move it. Download the one-pager to see how the two fit together.

An organizational picture for leaders
An aggregated, anonymized dashboard highlights strengths and pressure points across the workforce. Leaders can examine results across the full population or selected groups based on their purview. A finance lead, for example, sees only their own function's results.
Organizations can also view results by location, division, function, seniority, or leader status. To protect anonymity, results are shown only for groups that meet the minimum size threshold.
A personal profile for every employee
People are drawn to learning more about themselves. Unlike other organizational assessments, The Energy Audit gives every respondent their own energy profile.
The profile helps employees translate insight into changes they can make in their daily lives and work, and includes scores across capacity and effectiveness, the clearest opportunities for improvement, and a recommended place to start.
Capacity and Workplace Effectiveness create a fuller picture.
The Energy Audit shows both the capacity people can draw on and how effective they are at work, both individually and with others. Together, these results reveal four patterns, each pointing to a different place to focus support.
Reserves
High Performer
Potential
Sustainable High Performer
High Capacity, High Effectiveness
Capacity and effectiveness are both strong. People are building and renewing energy while expressing it through collaboration and agility. The priority is to sustain the practices and conditions supporting both.
Untapped Potential
High Capacity, Low Effectiveness
Capacity is available, but it is not consistently showing up in collaboration and agility. Explore what may be limiting its expression, including team dynamics, opportunities, and ways of working.
Running on Reserves
Low Capacity, High Effectiveness
Effectiveness is ahead of capacity. People are continuing to collaborate and adapt, but their underlying capacity may not be keeping pace with the demands on them. Without renewal, that pattern is difficult to sustain.
Depleted
Low Capacity, Low Effectiveness
Building capacity makes it easier to deliver effectively in the workplace, as an individual contributor and in collaboration with others. Identifying energy drains to address can be a good place to start.
Turn insight into action.
The Energy Audit gives leaders a clearer starting point for investment and employees a practical starting point for change. Findings can inform personal practices, leader development, team habits, and broader organizational decisions.
PeopleFuel® builds individual energy practices, while LeaderFuel® equips leaders to support their teams. Consulting, coaching, and targeted programs can address broader challenges involving collaboration, courage, and resilience.
The Audit can be repeated over time to see how scores and patterns change after action is taken.
Bring The Energy AuditDesign an Energy Audit pilot for your organization.
A pilot lets you experience the Energy Audit's findings with a defined group before expanding across the organization. Together, we'll decide who to include, which demographic views and metrics matter most, and how the findings can support work already underway or inform future initiatives. What you learn will help shape a broader rollout around the insights your leaders need.
