Workplace Culture Consultancy.

Your workplace culture is something everyone feels, but it can be tricky to define. It’s more than the way people interact each day while they’re at work; it’s the tone that’s set by leadership and the behaviours that are encouraged and rewarded, too.

Our workplace culture consultants help you understand how these dynamics are currently working and how you can reshape them to build a healthier and more connected organisation. We work alongside your team to explore what culture really looks like in your business. And we help you uncover what’s holding you back, designing a path toward the kind of workplace your people want to be part of.

What’s a workplace culture consultant?

Business policies and values for how people should behave may be written down, but it’s the actual lived experience that makes the culture, and it’s shaped by how people in your organisation communicate and interact.

That’s where a scarlettabbott workplace culture consultant comes in. They support businesses to understand the behaviours and unspoken norms that make up their workplace culture. Our job is to help you see your business culture clearly and to guide you toward aligning it with your goals and values.

Our team can help you with:

Leadership coaching
Values alignment
DEI
Larger cultural transformations.

Businesses are different, but their workplace culture goals are often the same: to build a culture that supports their people to do their best work.

Our approach to culture consultancy

We don’t approach culture with assumptions or quick fixes. Our workplace culture consulting is grounded in behavioural insight. We use our extensive knowledge of cultural anthropology to get to know your business and your people, and deliver solutions that work.

Here’s what to expect:

Cultural diagnostics

We start by getting to know what the culture looks like across your organisation. We uncover the invisible forces at play using a mix of interviews and observations as well as focus groups. Then, we analyse the data to tell you what people think, where the tensions are and what behaviours are currently being rewarded.

Behavioural science

People shape workplace culture, but that culture also shapes people. Our behavioural science specialists use their insights to explain how habits form and why change can feel hard. They’ll then help you t create interventions which will help positive behaviours take root.

Leadership alignment

Leaders have a huge influence on organisational culture. Our expert coaching and the Behaviour, Commitment, Action (BCA) model help your leaders role model the culture you want to see. We work closely with your leadership team to help make sure their actions reflect your business values.

Inclusive storytelling

Changing culture means changing how people see themselves within your business. Our creative team helps you tell better stories. Stories that connect people to each other and to something bigger. We focus on instilling a sense of purpose through storytelling as well as values, progress and recognition.

Why a strong workplace culture is no longer optional

Whether you like it or not, your organisation has a workplace culture. It forms a core part of your employee experience and drives performance and retention. When you don’t pay attention to culture, you risk disengagement and high turnover. You’re also likely to see leadership misalignment, or inclusion gaps.

Our workplace culture consultants help businesses move from reactive fixes to proactive culture design. A connected and values-led culture helps your business to:

Navigate change
Attract and retain talent
Build trust and transparency
Strengthen collaboration and creativity.

Culture happens in your organisation every day. So make sure it’s happening in the best way.
