Salpulse Culture Index

Salpulse Culture Index


The Salpulse Culture Index is an overall indication of how fit for purpose and vibrant, your organisation's Culture Code is. Two thirds of the score comes from your Salpulse Survey Score and the other third from your Salp Activity Score (as at the date of the survey). If you do not have current versions of the following components in your Culture Code:

  • Your Why (often called a Purpose or Mission)
  • Your Way (often called Values or Principles)
  • Your Do (often called a Shared Ambition, Shared Goal or Vision)

10 points are deducted for each missing component. The Salpulse Culture Index ranges from 0 to 100.

A typical expanded Navigation Tree is shown below (Note, the details of the Way node expansion will be dependent on your organisation's Values):
