Auditing
An organizational culture audit involves identifying and defining the values, norms, preferences, and purpose of an organization. It involves both interviews with the leadership team and real-time observations of the culture (e.g., meetings, training sessions, communication styles, etc). It is designed to identify maladaptive practices within the system, ensure that all employees embody the values of the organization, and remove barriers to psychological safety and well-being.
Depending on the number of employees and the complexity of the company infrastructure, an audit can take between 2-5 full work days.
Yes. By connecting virtually and having permission to audit virtual work meetings, we can help enhance the culture of organizations and improve the well-being of employee that work remotely. However, it is important to note that communication and signals of care and safety are not only verbal, and can include many subtle physical cues. Therefore, whenever possible, it is strongly encouraged to perform the audit in person.
Assessment
An organizational culture assessment involves a systematic analysis of various aspects of your workplace culture, including organizational values, norms, and purpose, employee attitudes and behavioural patterns, psychological safety, and the overall work environment. The goal is to identify and define cultural strengths, as well as areas for improvement. Each assessment is concluded with a comprehensive report that includes evidence-based actionable suggestions and strategies.
The duration can vary depending on the size of your organization and the depth of assessment required, but typically it ranges from a couple weeks to a month.
Our assessment process is designed to be as non-intrusive as possible, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily operations.
