Organisational culture.

Creating inclusive and psychologically safe workforces.

A people-first culture.

What does this mean for you?

Reinventing company culture has become a top priority for every organisation; where every individual feels cared for and respected from the top level to the bottom. It’s about clear vision, strong values, taking care of your employees and, arguably most importantly, creating an autonomous environment, where employees’ decisions are respected and they work collaboratively with trust.

We have created culture and engagement initiatives for small teams through to large, multi-site organisations, and we pride ourselves on keeping bang up-to-date with industry trends. So, our consultants are well equipped to support you with exactly what’s right for your organisation, to get your culture exactly right. 

People First Culture

Employee voice

First things first, you need to hear what your employees are saying, before deciding how to tackle any opportunities. We will work with you to implement appropriate employee feedback measures, if you don’t already have them in place. There are lots of survey tools on the market and we can help you decide what’s right for you. We can also plan and lead focus groups and in-house research to ascertain your key areas of opportunity, so your employees have a clear voice, feeding into your engagement strategy.

Targeted initiatives

No matter how forward thinking your organisation, things evolve. Once we have identified your areas of opportunity, we will work with you and your teams to create a plan of engagement initiatives to boost your employee's happiness at work. This could include anything from flexible working arrangements, diversity & inclusion initiatives, creating a culture with the human touch, or looking after your employee wellbeing and mental health. We will support you to create a holistic plan that pulls together your strategic organisational objectives and your HR and L&D strategies.

Communication

With a plan in place, we can support you to create a clear communication plan. We will help you consider how to position and deliver key messages as well as what to consider in the way of regular touch points to keep employees informed.

Mental Health in Work Place

Embracing flexibility.

Supporting agile and hybrid working.

Work life integration is not a new concept, but the need to meet it is higher than ever. Having all gone through a world-wide ‘working from home experiment’ there’s now a once in a generation opportunity to embrace the learns from this and define the future of workplace flexibility.

Pre-pandemic, studies showed that 70% of employees globally, worked remotely at least once a week. Since then 88% of people who were working at home during the pandemic, have said they wish to continue doing so, and 47% said they want to work at home more, or all the time. 

What’s more, 75% of employees report increased productivity working at home, and 71% report reduced levels of stress from not commuting. Hybrid and remote working is effective and it’s here to stay. 

How can we help?

  • Getting the most out of remote technology, such as Microsoft Teams.

Redefining the 'human' in HR.

Compassionate leaders, high in emotional intelligence.

Despite technology, people still inherently seek compassion, appreciation, and belongingness.

Emotional intelligence (EQ), cultural intelligence (CQ) and adaptability intelligence (AQ), are fast becoming critical skills for managers and employees alike. Whilst we must embrace technology, we must not eliminate the need to form interpersonal bonds with our employees through compassionate leaders.

  • Facilitated team days to explore your team values, get to know each other and learn how you can work together and support each other.

Diversity & inclusion.

Embracing individuality and psychological safety.

When people from different walks of life come together, they offer a fresh perspective, new ideas, and form a more innovative and forward-thinking workforce.

What’s more, new-age employees expect organisations to embrace their individuality and create an environment where everyone can truly be themselves.

How can we help?

  • Our All Inclusive course which introduces equality, diversity and inclusion and the benefits and risks to organisations, as well as how to actively promote a diverse workforce.
  • A ground-breaking virtual Inclusive Leader open programme, designed for individuals to focus on diversity, inclusion, equality and accessibility, and influence meaningful change.

Mental Health in Work Place

Workplace wellbeing.

A moral responsibility. And an operational must.

Employees spend a huge amount of their waking hours at work. The work environment and culture have a lot to do with their health, and this has a direct impact on productivity and performance.

Offering a sound corporate wellness programme is a operational responsibility as well as a moral one.
