Workplace Climate and Its Impact on Culture
12
Organizational climate has been defined as "the shared meaning organizational members attach to the events, policies,
practices, and procedures they experience and the behaviors they see being rewarded, supported, and expected"
The climate is the perception of the work environment by an employee. It's how employees feel when they're at work,
which has a direct correlation to how motivated they are to do well. Culture, however, is about values and customs.
Climate change drivers: You can have a positive or negative impact on the employee experience.
Change in leadership Change in policy Change in team members Change in technology
"Climate change" can be used as a tactic to facilitate changes to a culture.
Changing culture is a process, it's never an event. It requires intention, patience and follow through.
