Analysis Of Organizational Climate: Digging Deep

As part of our services for employers and businesses, the office of Nicholas St-Pierre offers organizational analysis of workplace environments.

We are often called after costly or disruptive conflicts have happened within a workplace. Rather than simply focus on solving immediate crises, we prefer to take a deeper look to locate strengths and weaknesses within an organization and educate our clients on how to avoid future conflicts.

To speak with our lawyers about a workplace organizational analysis, contact us at 613-233-3793, or though email.

Finding The Sum Of Your Parts

Often workplace problems are not caused by only one or two particularly difficult members of the workplace, but are systemwide. As a company, it is in your best interests to identify problem areas, and identify ways to fix them.

Our labour and employment lawyer has extensive experience doing so throughout the National Capital Region. Working together, we can identify systemic problems and help you craft systemic solutions.

Performing an analysis of your organizational climate often requires us to take a close look at:

  • Personnel: Sometimes there are individuals, especially in small companies or in positions of supervision, who are particularly problematic. Often the problem may lie in a combination of people or in their interactions with one another.
  • Harassment and discrimination: If there is a workplace culture that allows or encourages verbal, psychological or sexual harassment, or discrimination of any kind, we can help you identify the problem and suggest remedies.
  • Structural challenges: Problems may arise from a number of sources, such as a management structure that is not suitable for the size or type of your business, or inadequate communication within the organization. Structural problems may involve everything from management styles to technology, equipment and the external pressures.
  • The law: It's important for companies to understand how the law applies to their own situation. Health and safety standards, legislation and regulation concerning mental health, harassment, contracts and management can all affect your workplace.

It's essential for companies to have written documentation helping them determine acceptable conduct, particularly if there have been problems in the past. As part of our services, we can help you draft a code of ethics and code of conduct.
