Organizations can learn a lot from and about their staff using evaluation data collection strategies such as surveys, interviews
and record reviews. As shown below, information about staff and their actions, perceptions and feedback can be used to inform
organizational practices. Remember, organizations that regularly use evaluative thinking ask questions of substance (including
questions about their staff), determine what data are needed to address the questions and how those data could be obtained,
systematically collect and analyze data (including staff feedback), share the results and develop strategies to act on findings.
