The SDS (Shelter Diagnostic System) is now SeeDS (Shelter Employee Engagement & Development Survey). SeeDS is an assessment tool designed to help private and public animal shelters run better by surveying employees and making specific recommendations based on the results. SeeDS analyzes employee attitudes, perceptions, and opinions on key issues related to organizational health and well-being, such as: Peer Support, Euthanasia Practices, Communication Effectiveness, Employee Morale, Supervision, Job Stress, Teamwork, and Training.

SeeDS was developed using data collected from animal shelter staff across the country by a team of professors now at UNC-Charlotte. These researchers have been investigating workplace issues among shelter employees since 2001. SeeDS combines current information from this research and practical experience from the sheltering field with extensive knowledge from the field of industrial-organizational psychology, which focuses on workplace health and effectiveness.
