Climate, culture and wellbeing

Understand how people, teams and the organization experience work

An organization’s climate, how its teams function and people’s wellbeing are related, but they are not the same. Talent360 combines different perspectives to help you listen, understand, detect gaps and decide where to act.

Beyond the average

A single score does not explain what is happening

An organization can show a good overall result and, at the same time, have:

teams living very different realities
groups with opposing perceptions
difficulties concentrated in certain areas
specific issues of communication, leadership or coordination
a significant distance between the current and desired situation
people who need to attend to certain dimensions of their wellbeing

It is not enough to ask:

How is our organization?

We also need to understand:

  • How do people experience it?
  • How do teams function?
  • Where do the differences appear?
  • What needs attention?
  • Are we evolving after acting?

Three perspectives to better understand reality

PERSON
Wellbeing

How is the person?

The Wellbeing Assessment provides an individual perspective on different dimensions related to habits and wellbeing.

It analyzes eight areas:

NutritionPhysical activityRelationships and subjective wellbeingRisk habitsSelf-careSleep and restStress and emotional managementTechnology and sedentary lifestyle

It compares the current state with the desired state and helps identify aspects that may require more attention or follow-up.

TEAM
Team Systemic

How do we work together?

The Systemic Assessment analyzes the team as a system, not simply as the sum of its members.

It works on six major areas:

InteractionStructureFunctioningIdentityIntegrationPerformance

It dives into 24 dimensions related to communication, conflicts, roles, leadership, responsibility, coordination, decision-making, unity, support, goals, planning, feedback or results. It also compares the perceived state with the desired state.

ORGANIZATION
Organizational Monitor

How do people experience the organization and how does that perception evolve?

The Organizational Monitor lets you create climate projects adapted to each company’s reality. Talent360 includes 32 predefined measurement items, but the model is not closed.

The organization can:

Use the system itemsAdapt them to its own realityCreate new itemsCombine the elements needed to build its project

Projects can include segmentation, different participant levels, anonymous participation, “Don’t know / No answer”, comments, desired state and other options. And a particularly important capability: a single project can include re-assessments to observe how the climate evolves over time.

Person, team and organization answer different questions

PerspectiveMain questionTool
PersonHow am I?Wellbeing
TeamHow do we work together?Team Systemic
OrganizationHow do we experience the organization and how does it evolve?Organizational Monitor

The value is not in mixing these perspectives as if they were equivalent. It is in using the right one for each question.

A good overall climate does not mean all teams function the same. A team can work well within an organization that has difficulties in other groups. And a person’s wellbeing does not depend exclusively on what happens at work.

Understanding better requires distinguishing the levels before relating them.

Not every project needs to use all three perspectives. Talent360 lets you combine them according to the goal.

Organizational Monitor

Listen to the organization without imposing a closed questionnaire

Every company has a different reality. That is why the Organizational Monitor does not force you to work exclusively with a fixed questionnaire. Talent360 includes 32 predefined measurement items, grouped into different organizational areas.

Among them are areas such as:

Interaction
Structure
Functioning
Identity
Corporate integration
Performance
Working conditions
Socio-labor conditions

And within them you can analyze issues such as communication, camaraderie, conflicts, leadership, roles, responsibility, proactivity, decision-making, values, goals, feedback, remuneration, equality, work-life balance or workplace flexibility.

But these elements are a starting point. The user can adapt them or create their own items to build a project aligned with what they really need to understand.

The Monitor logic

WHAT DO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND?
Select system items
Adapt existing items
Create our own items
CONFIGURE THE PROJECT
WE LISTEN
WE ANALYZE

Your organization does not have to adapt to a standard survey.

Segmentation

Don’t settle for the average

A global score can hide very relevant differences. Projects can organize and segment participation to better understand how the organization is experienced by different groups.

ORGANIZATION
REGION
Europa
América
AREA
Sales
Operations
Administration
LEVEL
Leadership
Managers
Professionals

This diagram is illustrative. The actual structure depends on each project.

How we listen

Listening also means configuring participation well

It is not only about what questions we ask. It also matters how we let people respond. Depending on the project needs, the Monitor can include options such as:

Anonymous participation
Different participant levels or groups
“Don’t know / No answer”
Comments
Different ways of participating
Desired state
And other project settings

You don’t just decide what to measure. You also decide how you want to listen.

Re-assessment

From a snapshot to an evolution

An Organizational Monitor project can include re-assessments. This lets you repeat the measurement and analyze the evolution after taking actions.

Initial measurement
Understand
Prioritize
Act
Re-assess
Compare
Act again

Don’t measure the climate just to generate a report. Measure it to know where to act and whether the actions are working.

The gap

Perceived state vs desired state

An isolated rating has limited meaning. In certain Talent360 assessments we can compare the perceived state with the desired state.

Perceived state
How are we?
GAP
Desired state
How do we want to be?

This difference helps understand which issues have a higher perceived priority. And when re-assessments exist, a new question appears: Is the gap shrinking over time?

Culture

Culture is observed through what people experience

Talent360 does not need to present organizational culture as a separate closed assessment. Culture can be explored through different aspects of the organizational experience. For example:

Values
Identity
Leadership
Communication
Ways of coordinating
Equality
Social responsibility
Perception of support
Work practices
Ways of working

The Monitor’s flexibility lets you use system items, adapt them or create specific ones to explore the cultural aspects that are relevant.

Culture is not only what an organization declares. It is also reflected in what its people experience and perceive.

From climate to team

Go from the organization down to the team

An organizational measurement can indicate: “Here there is a difference that deserves attention”. But certain problems need a deeper look. That is where Team Systemic comes in.

For example, if issues related to the following appear:

communicationleadershipcoordinationresponsibilitygoalsfeedbackconflictsintegration

it can be useful to analyze how a specific team functions.

ORGANIZATIONAL MONITOR
Detects where to look
TEAM SYSTEMIC
Goes deeper into functioning
PRIORITIES

It does not mean you always have to use both tools. It means they respond to different levels.

Individual perspective

Add an individual wellbeing perspective when relevant

Climate helps understand how people perceive the organization. Wellbeing answers another question: how is the person? The Wellbeing Assessment incorporates an individual perspective related to habits, rest, activity, relationships, stress, self-care and other dimensions.

Nutrition
Physical activity
Relationships and subjective wellbeing
Risk habits
Self-care
Sleep and rest
Stress and emotional management
Technology and sedentary lifestyle

Climate asks how I experience my organization. Wellbeing asks how I am.

Trust

Wellbeing without invading privacy

Wellbeing-related information can be especially sensitive. That is why a wellbeing initiative should not become a system designed to individually monitor people. Projects must clearly define:

Why the information is collected
Who can access it
Which results are individual or aggregated
How the purpose is communicated
What use will be made of the results

Caring for people also means respecting their data.

From data to action

Not every gap needs the same response

Suppose a difficulty related to communication appears. The response could be training, but it could also require:

Training
Change a process
Clarify responsibilities
Work with a manager
Intervene with a team
Review channels
Facilitate conversations
Act on a different organizational cause

A score helps you know where to look. The analysis helps you decide what to do.

Use cases

Organizational climate diagnosis

Understand how different aspects of the organization are perceived and where the main gaps appear.

Tracking climate over time

Run re-assessments to analyze the evolution after implementing actions.

Change processes

Adapt the project items to understand how different groups experience an organizational transformation.

Culture projects

Use existing, adapted or custom items to explore relevant cultural questions.

Team development

Go deeper with Systemic when you need to understand how specific teams function.

Wellbeing programs

Add an individual perspective focused on self-awareness and identifying areas of attention.

Leadership development

Relate organizational and team information to the development needs of managers and leaders.

Organizations with diverse groups

Segment participation to detect differences between areas, levels, regions or groups.

Who is it for

Human Resources

To listen to the organization, detect gaps and prioritize actions.

People & Culture

To address climate, culture and wellbeing from different perspectives.

Leadership

To get a structured view of issues relevant to the organization.

Managers

To better understand what happens within teams and groups.

Consultants

To design climate, team and organizational development projects using the ecosystem tools.

Responsible interpretation

Data shows where to look. It does not always explain why.

A rating can point to a difficulty. A gap can show an important difference. A segmentation can reveal that two groups live very different realities. But the result does not always automatically explain the cause.
