Directions
Proposal: The climate of an organization is subject to change, whereas the culture is deep-rooted in the organization’s shared assumptions, beliefs, values, and behaviors. As Organization Y changes structures, it is becoming apparent that the organizational climate, specifically workforce morale, is quickly beginning to slip. As manager, you assess changes in the organizational climate and present a proposal to leadership outlining your plan to shape and lead the climate in support of Organization Y’s mission, vision, and values. Specifically, use the Organizational Climate Assessment Summary to address the following in your proposal to leadership:
Evaluate the current state of the climate.
Assess how the organization’s structure impacts the climate. Consider comparing the organizational structures, and discuss how each structure supports the mission, vision, and values.
Recommend strategies to lead a healthy organizational climate during the transition.
Justify your strategies by explaining how these changes will support the organization’s mission, vision, and values and impact performance.
From a managerial perspective, describe the additional resources you will need to maintain a healthy organizational climate during the transition. Address the following to inform your response:
What is the role of functional systems (HR, finance, etc.) in supporting an organization’s mission, vision, and values?
What key skills should employees demonstrate to support the mission and vision during the restructuring of the organization?
