Please note that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Westinghouse
are making the Work Obstacle Metric (WOBRIC) available to U.S. educational
institutions, businesses, government agencies, and non-profit
organizations at no-cost through the federal technology transfer program.
WOBRIC is a tool for measuring organizational factors that inhibit
effective work performance. It provides organizations with employee
feedback concerning work obstacles in 12 areas:

+ Verbal Communication
+ Written Communication
+ Equipment Condition
+ Environmental Conditions
+ Work Schedule
+ Work Practices
+ Work Planning
+ Supervisory Methods
+ Training
+ Change Management
+ Resource Management
+ Managerial Methods

WOBRIC consists of a 103-item questionnaire, and a 39-page administrator's
guide containing instructions, a scoring key, a calculation worksheet, a
summary sheet, and FAQs. This is a complete, turnkey package that can be
administered by nearly every type of organization with little to no
modification. To obtain WOBRIC at no cost, fill out an application at the
DOE/Westinghouse technology transfer website:

http://www.t2ed.com

After we process your application (usually in one working day or less),
we will send you an ID and password allowing you to download WOBRIC
directly from our website to your computer in your choice of word
processing formats. Then, you can use it for commercial, internal, or
educational purposes. Over 160,000 pages of other analysis tools,
training courses, and guides are available at no cost through the site.
