WHAT IS AN ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE ASSESSMENT?

This can include aspects such as leadership effectiveness, communication, teamwork, employee engagement, job satisfaction, and overall morale.

In our experience, employees are less likely to be open and honest when doing in-house surveys and assessments. This is due to fear of retaliation and losing their jobs if they voice their opinion honestly. Many companies who choose to do these assessments in-house get inaccurate results, due to employees not answering honestly. Using a third party like Life by Design Virtual Solutions will give employees that security in knowing that no one within the organization will see their results and they will be more assured that their answers are kept anonymous and confidential.
