Culture Co

Culture Co We increase organisational value by working with businesses to create people-first, high-performance cultures that drive long-term, sustainable success.

Investing in culture is critical to business success. In fact, businesses with performance-enhancing cultures experience four times more growth than those with poor cultures. But, typical approaches to culture are flawed. The perks don't work and the world of work is changing fast. By combining the principles of high-performance with an caring, human curiosity about what it will take for people to

thrive at work, we've devised a 'soulful science'​ approach that we know does work. The only culture that will lead to sustained success is a people-first, high-performance culture. In this type of culture people, purpose and performance are all prioritised. There’s a strong identity and spirit that drives everything in the business – what you do and how you do it. It’s an environment where people are set up and supported to perform to their potential and make the most of their talent. There’s a commitment to work collaboratively for the common good and by doing good, you do well at the same time. There are four phases to our approach:

1. Culture health-check - a comprehensive picture of how your business currently stacks up against the key ingredients needed for a people-first, high-performance culture.

2. Cultural foundations - helping you to define, or redefine, the core cultural foundations of your business – a business purpose, mission, values and behaviours.

3. Leading culture & performance - ensuring your leaders are ready to lead culture in an environment that’s aligned to your cultural foundations and supporting people to perform at their best.

4. High-performing teams & people - working with teams and individuals to ensure everyone has the mindset, skills and tools needed to perform to the best of their potential. Whether you are starting up, scaling up, redefining your business or just serious about fulfilling your potential, we can help transform your business. Please get in touch to find out how!

The importance of knowing your cause

A strong, authentic, and well communicated ‘cause’ lies at the heart of every thriving workplace culture. It explains what your business stands for, and how the needs of all your communities are served.

Covid has intensified our demand for greater meaning in our work. Nine out of ten people say they’d be willing to earn less money in exchange for the chance to do more meaningful work.

As life becomes more unstable and unpredictable, most people want to know that the place where they spend much of their lives ­– work – is making a genuine, positive difference. A strong cause can also help customers connect with your brand, especially when being physically disconnected from your business.

A strong cause can also help customers connect with your brand, especially when being physically disconnected from your business.

To continue to thrive, companies must communicate a strong, authentic cause. More importantly, they should act in a way that aligns cause with their people, allowing them to find more meaning in their work. It really is about what you do, not what you say — which in turn inspires others to rally around your (company's) cause.

What is culture anyway?

Culture is…'the way we do things around here'.

It can be a tricky thing to get your head around. We’ve heard lots of business leaders say culture is ‘fluffy’ or ‘just a hit on profits’. But the truth couldn’t be further away.

Let’s start with what it’s not. Culture isn’t pizza or beers on a Friday night, bean bags, yoga, or swings in the office 🥳 All these are nice things to have but they don’t make a culture. And certainly not a successful one.

Culture is the sum of your leadership, your values, beliefs, working practices, and your behaviours and habits. It’s the environment you create in working with you. It’s the way you do things around there.

The most important part is behaviour. You may have beautifully crafted purpose and value statements but if behaviour doesn’t match up to those words, your culture isn’t what you want it to be. More importantly, the experience of your culture isn’t what you’re telling people it is☺️.
