Climate Lab

This laboratory is the latest CeRCA’s research and consulting service and aims at helping companies in creating an organisational climate, where employees have the chance to deliver their best work. Listening to employees and stakeholders suggestions, needs and demands is becoming more and more essential for companies determined to reach challenging results in the current hyper-competitive market. Organisations talk and it is important to be able to listen to them. A company won’t go on improving and innovating, if it can’t understanding what people say.

Organisational climate surveys are strengthened and reliable instruments to promptly listen to collaborators’ experience, needs and expectations, in order to intervene on all those elements which condition wellbeing, motivation, organizational quality and therefore the achievement of great entrepreneurial results.
