Align Talent With What Drives Your Culture

The Culture Fit Index® is designed to evaluate how closely an individual’s values and workplace preferences align with your organization’s culture. By identifying the beliefs and behaviors that define success within your environment, the assessment helps organizations select, develop, and retain individuals who are more likely to engage, contribute, and stay over time.

When values are aligned, employees are more committed, more productive, and more likely to thrive within the organization.

The Fit Index® Assessment Approach

Fit Index® assessments use a structured, rank-order methodology to evaluate how individuals perform job-critical activities. Instead of rating traits in isolation, participants compare and prioritize behaviors based on their relative strength and preference—creating a more accurate and meaningful profile of how they are likely to perform on the job.

Rank-Order
Methodology

Participants prioritize
competencies relative to
one another, producing
clearer differentiation between
strengths and limitations.

Multi-Perspective
Measurement

Measures each construct
through multiple frames
of reference—capturing
how individuals prioritize,
value, or describe
key behaviors.

Eliminate Rating
Bias

Removes the tendency
to rate everything
highly by requiring
direct comparison
across behaviors

Behavior
Driven

Focuses on how
work actually gets
done rather
than abstract traits
or preferences

Define and Measure Culture
at any level.

DeGarmo works with organizations to clearly define the values that shape their culture and measure how those values are experienced across the organization. Using a structured, consensus-driven approach—supported by targeted data collection—culture profiles are developed to reflect real expectations and guide more informed hiring and organizational decisions.:

  • Define culture based on organizational values.
  • Align leadership perspectives through structured consensus.
  • Measure employee alignment and perception.
  • Identify gaps between intended and experienced culture.

Whether you're defining culture at the organizational level or exploring alignment across teams, insights are built to reflect how culture is truly experienced.
