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%.
External recognition
As a highlight in people management, WEG has received external recognition as "a place where everyone wants to work" (employer of choice). Mexico has been recognized for 12 years with the Super Empresas Expansión award. In 2024, she was recognized again in this award.

The WEG Code of Ethics plays an important role in establishing the conduct expected from our employees and other stakeholders, as well as in reinforcing WEG's commitment to promoting a culture of respect for others.
Promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Understanding the importance of the role of leaders for Diversity and Inclusion, WEG has a training module in the Leadership Academy dedicated to the topic.
