Climate Action Team wrap-up
A year ago, OIT participated in a Climate Survey, which enabled us to understand employee perceptions of the work environment across OIT. We assembled a Climate Action Team and charged the team to investigate several areas revealed by the survey, and provide recommendations to improve the climate across OIT. A crucial step in the team's process was to seek additional insights beyond the survey data directly from OIT employees through focus groups and other feedback mechanisms.
In the last year, the Climate Action Team has been behind several OIT initiatives, such as mentoring and co-coaching programs, and provided input on management best practices and performance reviews. This week, the Climate Action Team presented a final report to OIT senior management. The Climate Action Team met the goals set for it, and clearly identified the issues OIT will face going forward until the results of the next survey. The OIT senior management will take those tasks on.
The report can be found on the OIT Internal Wiki under "Climate Survey", the first document listed - Climate_Team_Status_20091021.docx
