Diagnosis of climate and culture of the Organization

Diagnosis of an organisational culture

Start People Professionals offers proven instruments for diagnosis of, and changes to organisational culture, based on the ‘opposing values’ model. This model enables a general profile of an organisational culture to be developed, explaining many different aspects of its operation (structure, efficiency, quality and leadership) and describing its primary values. The instrument we apply allows a profile of the organisational culture which will be desirable in the future to be compiled, specifying the direction of potential changes, and permits a plan for their introduction to be drawn up.

A diagnosis of organisational culture enables key aspects of the company’s operation to be described, thus allowing the process of creating a positive employer image to be supported and enhancing awareness of creating a unified organisational culture.

Researching the organisational climate

Being aware of the significance of organisational climate, we offer instruments allowing for that parameter of the enterprise’s operation to be diagnosed. Organisational climate is a set of attributes which are unique to a given organisation and derive from the manner in which that organisation treats its employees, and its relations with the outside world. It is a set of characteristics which describe an organisation and which reflect the atmosphere and mood prevailing within it.

Organisational climate refers to the process by which a working environment is perceived and assessed by the organisation’s employees. As a result of that process, the objective features of the organisation, (such as the structure, management style, and personnel policy, may be presented in various ways by individual members. This is one of the reasons why a diagnosis of organisational climate is so crucial. Disparities regarding individual perceptions and assessment of the objective features of an organisation have an impact on the attitude and conduct of the employees, as well as on job satisfaction, engagement, in terms of effort and time, in the tasks carried out, on the results attained, and on handling stressful situation.

Benefits from an organisational climate diagnosis:

• Assistance in provision of compliance of the organisational climate diagnosis with the company’s objectives and strategy
• A reference point for actions taken to facilitate the structure, efficiency and efficacy of the organisation’s operating in such a way as to satisfy the market requirements of clients/recipients to a greater extent
• Assistance in identifying those crucial points within the organisation’s operation which may adversely influence the process of introducing changes
• Determining a level of employee satisfaction – if, and to what extent, the elements shaping the climate satisfy the employees’ various needs.
