Organizational Climate Management
At WEG, organizational climate management consists of the stages of investigation, diagnosis, action plans, implementation and monitoring.
The Internal Organizational Climate Survey is a tool that indicates employees' perception of the company's climate and their engagement and satisfaction through data collection. It is implemented in all units in Brazil and is expanding to branches abroad.
Based on the results, strategies and actions are outlined to build a more inclusive, innovative and high-performance environment. Action plans are developed by leaders to meet specific needs and a corporate plan meets common needs between different areas and locations.
The result is evolving with each cycle, the result of joint work between managers and all employees. The Internal Organizational Climate Survey revealed in 2022 an increase of 11% in the level of satisfaction, reaching a total of 78.8%.
