Workplace climate barometer

What this method does

A barometer you re-run at regular intervals, whose results compare over time and across scopes. It produces a read-out per department rather than a company average nobody can act on.

When to launch it

• The climate has deteriorated and everyone reads the causes differently.
• Social dialogue happens without shared data.
• An annual survey exists but its results are not actionable.

How it runs

1. 1

   Scope

   The whole company or the departments involved, with anonymity thresholds enforced.

2. 2

   Barometer

   Thirty-six questions, ten minutes, re-runnable each quarter or half-year.

3. 3

   Read-out

   Results by department, site and seniority, compared to the previous wave.

What you get

• Climate index by department and site
• Change against the previous wave
• Three prioritized levers, with the evidence behind them
• A read-out deck usable in formal bodies

What is measured

• Trust in leadership
• Relationship with the direct manager
• Workload and time balance
• Recognition and fairness
• Meaning and pride of belonging
• Psychological safety

Who it is for

HR, executive teams and employee representatives who need a shared basis for discussion.
