Empowering Employees as Co-Authors of Change: How Apogee Enterprises Used Orgametrics® to Turn Insight into Action

Key Insight: Data is powerful, but the real transformation happens when employees are invited to co-author the solution.

At Apogee Enterprises, leadership made a crucial decision: to not only collect alignment data using the Orgametrics® tool but to share that insight transparently with their employees. The assessment results were meaningful, but their power came from how they were used—not as a top-down directive, but as a collaborative starting point.

Instead of treating employees as subjects of analysis, Apogee treated them as partners in progress.

“It was very clear and understandable—they needed to be part of the solution, not just part of the issues.”

This shift marked a turning point. With full visibility into the results, employees didn’t just receive a plan—they helped build it. They discussed what was working, what wasn’t, and how their day-to-day could better align with strategic goals. In doing so, they reclaimed authorship of their work environment and its evolution.

By embracing the idea that people closest to the work are often closest to the answers, Apogee witnessed something powerful:

  • Employees moved from passive participants to proactive changemakers.
  • The shared data created a common language across teams.
  • And because they were invested in the solution, engagement naturally followed alignment.

In a time of talent shortages and rising burnout, many organizations are stuck trying to increase engagement without tackling the deeper issue of misalignment. Tools like Orgametrics® give leaders the visibility they need—but it’s what they do with that visibility that counts.

Sharing insights is the first step.

Empowering action is the next.

Co-creating solutions with your people is where the magic happens.
