Organizational Climate and Culture Development
What is Organizational Climate and Culture Development?
Think about “culture” as the enduring and shared experiences, values, and beliefs of your organization, whereas “climate” refers to the current perceptions and feelings that people hold. Both organizational culture and climate development are an investment in the wellbeing, health, and functioning of your business and the people within it. This involves:
- Conducting an in-depth analysis into the current state and functioning of your workplace using a variety of methods for data collection (including interviews, surveys, or focus groups)

- Enhancing your work environment to foster workplace growth, engagement, retention, and employee satisfaction
