Workplace climate survey, human resources and departmental objectives

Abstract

An organization's work environment surveys allow us to obtain reliably results that allow us to make decisions when establishing departmental objectives. This data must be accurate and strategic when taking action on what goals to set, and how to achieve them. For this, it is essential that they will be presented in an unequivocal, easily visualized and understandable way. The results obtained will be made known to those who participate in the survey, through the competent people, who will implement action plans that will correct those aspects that are less satisfactory for the workforce, in order to improve the degree of job satisfaction, motivation and, therefore, the achievement of goals. Knowing the situation of the work environment, measuring the results, according to the work center and department, with the goal of retaining talent, is essential for productivity levels and the achievement of goals. Placing special emphasis on internal communication, taking care of the means used and their correct adaptation to the technological development of the sector in which the organization is included, is very important. The latest models of work climate surveys measure job satisfaction, emotional perception, leadership and satisfaction with the organizational culture (values, norms and objectives), and it is essential to continue researching about it.
