The first step for a human resource professional who wishes to assess a company's organizational culture and climate is to conduct a staff meeting. In this meeting, the HR professional can present the purpose and objectives of the assessment, explain the significance of understanding the culture and climate, and set expectations for employees' participation in the assessment process. Additionally, this meeting provides an opportunity for employees to ask questions and share their initial thoughts or concerns regarding the assessment. Once the staff meeting is conducted, the HR professional can move forward with other assessment methods such as distributing a survey, assembling a focus group, or going on a culture walk.
