Organisational Climate Survey (OCS) - Hay Group

You don’t have to go on holiday to discover
a better climate makes people happier
Actually, we’re not talking about the weather here. When we talk about climate
we mean how people feel about aspects in their work environment which
directly impact their productivity. It’s what people say when asked “What’s it like
to work here?”
We’ve found that the happier people are in their work environment, the more
effort they’re prepared to make. In fact, our research shows that it will increase
important bottom line performance measures by up to 30%.
‘‘
what
motivates us
’’
Climate affects organisational performance by influencing employee
motivation. In most jobs, especially complex ones, there is a gulf
between what employees need do to ‘get by’ and what they can do if
they perform at their full potential. A positive climate will encourage
this discretionary effort and commitment.
