Workplace Culture
Understanding the values of your employees can lead to a deeper engagement and improved approaches to change management, enabling you to strategize for your workforce more effectively.
Understanding Organizations, Teams & Cultures
The world of work is transforming in major ways. Our workplace values and culture tool enables you to become more knowledgeable of your employees’ work-related values as well as their individual values, and where these aspects intersect. We work with clients to understand the diverse needs and motivations across their organizations, positioning them to build strong teams and cultures that will be ready for growth and resilience in a post-pandemic economy.
Deepen Engagement
Employee experience and engagement are fundamental to any organization’s ability to recruit and retain the right talent. Understanding your team members’ mindsets and motivations is a vital step toward building more effective engagement programs. Drawing on our Social Values-based tools and data, we work with clients to help them understand how individual team members relate to workplace and organizational issues – from leadership, to complexity, to social impact. Building on these insights, we work with leaders to craft policies, communications and activities that resonate with team members, align with your organization’s values and purpose, and draw out the best qualities in your people and culture.
Manage Change
Organizations need and want dynamic young talent, as well as the skills and insights that come with experience. But managing an intergenerational workforce can bring a unique set of challenges; if left unaddressed, these challenges can lead to tension, diminished productivity and even departures. By using Social Values tools to understand different motivations and outlooks across different generational cohorts – as well as within cohorts (every generation is internally diverse) – leaders can help to facilitate effective communication and collaboration, and build mutual understanding that has the power to enhance organizational culture and performance.
Use Human Insights to Inform Workplace Design and Planning
Choosing and refining workplaces that support peak performance – from focus and well-being, to collaboration and communication – was a priority for leaders before the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, having adapted to widespread remote working, many workplaces are rethinking their physical locations entirely, with some declaring they’ll no longer have office space at all. A range of factors shape employees’ relationships with their workspaces; these may include their individual roles and working styles, as well as contextual factors like their commute times or home environments.
