đź“Ś Identity Work Support Perceptions (IWSP) Scale
📌 Thought Experiments – Review & Recommendations
When employees feel supported in exploring and expressing both their work and non-work identities, they show stronger attitudes and are more willing to support others in the workplace. Leaders should create environments that enable authentic identity expression—particularly for marginalized groups—while thoughtfully managing the potential risks of reinforcing divisive or harmful identities. The IWSP scale allows organizations to measure inclusion efforts and design strategies that strengthen authenticity, belonging, and engagement.
Thought experiments provide leaders with a risk-free way to test ideas, evaluate strategies, and uncover blind spots—especially in times of uncertainty or change. When intentionally integrated into leadership practice, these mental simulations help organizations foster innovation, challenge assumptions, and develop future-ready strategies. Leaders who prioritize this reflective thinking approach make more visionary, high-impact decisions.
đź“Ś Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)
SEM equips organizations with a powerful analytical method to uncover the true drivers of outcomes such as engagement, performance, and well-being—moving beyond surface-level metrics. By testing theoretically driven models, leaders gain data-backed clarity on what actually works, enhancing confidence in strategic talent and culture investments. For organizations seeking precision and impact, SEM bridges research and real-world results.
