In today's competitive business environment, organizations are always looking for ways to stay ahead. Successful organizations realize the value of creating a work environment (or climate) that is pleasant and motivates employees to be committed and effective performers. Research has identified various aspects of an organization's work climate that, if positive, can help retain employees, reduce turnover, and enhance job performance and satisfaction. An organizational climate survey examines employee opinions about the quality of their organization's work climate, and the results can be used to identify opportunities for workplace improvements.
