and feelings of people.
 Climate surveys give employees a voice to assist in making desired transitions
as smooth as possible. It also serves as a basis for quality improvements. By
identifying areas of inefficiency and acting on performance barriers identified by
employees of all levels, an organization gains a fresh and different perspective.


 Organizational climate surveys increase productivity. Survey analysis

identifies areas of employee satisfaction and dissatisfaction to facilitate
management in the creation of greater workplace harmony and, therefore,
increased productivity.

• 4. Flexibility: there are no unnecessary rules, policies and procedures.

would have been determined.

spent in preparation of the questionnaire. Also due to the busy schedule of

 Chapter 8

SUGGESTION

All team members are cooperative and supportive with each other, but their
contribution towards the decision making, ideas are negligible. By which the ideas
are not utilized to their optimal level to get the best possible output in their work. For
this priority should be given to all team members to contribute their innovative ideas
at work.
  
The lack of communication between the senior management and employees can affect
the productivity of the organization. So this communication gap has to be resolved
and there should be a two way effective communication between the senior
management and the employees in order to bring changes in organization.
  
Employees are satisfied with their current packages after the 6th pay commission
scales were implemented, but still some feel the room for in increment in terms of
project allowances and retirement pension plans.
  
There is a need for structuring the Human resources department so that the synergies
of teams can better be driven to achieve organizational effectiveness and there is
still room for improving the organizational morale.
