An organisations’ climate can be described as the shared perceptions, emotions and attitudes of employees about core elements of the company. All have an impact on employee behaviour – and how they behave towards clients and suppliers. Another way of looking at it is to say that the organisations’ climate represents the ‘mood’ of the company.
