We build

Healthy Cultures

Culture isn’t shaped by one person, or one department.

Leaders have the greatest influence on culture. So that’s often where we start.

But culture is built across a business. In how people lead, manage, communicate, make decisions and work together.

That’s why we work with leaders, people teams and the people around them.

We build cultures where people collaborate, innovate and feel safe to challenge.

What we know
about culture

We’ve worked with thousands of people inside some of the world’s leading organisations.

Through hypergrowth. Through acquisitions and restructures. Through crises. And through some of their best years on record.

Through these times, we kept seeing the same patterns. Factors that determined the health of a culture and whether it could hold when things get hard.

We found eight. Together they became our Bright Culture framework.

This framework is the lens through which we view and define healthy workplace culture.

And when the work calls for it, we use the Bright Culture Check Up to identify strengths and areas that need attention within an organisation.

Our eight

healthy factors

Healthy leadership. Leaders who are resourced and equipped, and who model what the organisation says it values.

Psychological Safety. People can speak, disagree and admit mistakes without cost. Where collaboration and honest challenge become possible.

Accountability. When something goes wrong, there’s a process for it. People know what it is. They trust it. And they have seen it lead somewhere.

Care. Real support when people need it, and empathy as a practised behaviour rather than a stated value.

Clarity. Clear expectations, feedback as standard, fair and honest communication about what is happening and why.

Belonging. People can be themselves and feel genuinely part of it.

Growth. Opportunities to learn and grow at every level, stage and age.

Purpose and Pride. People know what the work is for. They feel valued and feel good about doing it.

How we build
HEALTHY CULTURES

     Three ways to work with us to build your healthy culture

1. Consultancy & Advisory

Sometimes you need support and additional expertise.

We work alongside leaders and HR directors on things like:

  • Gathering in-depth cultural insights
  • Designing and implementing ERG & community strategies
  • Pressure-testing a decision before you commit
  • Navigating an acquisition, a restructure or rapid growth
  • Communicating change
  • Auditing what you have in place

 

Most organisations have more in place than they realise – an EAP, a speak-up line,  manager training, policies. And many can’t tell you whether people know those things exist, whether they trust them, or have ever seen them lead anywhere.

We help you understand what’s working and what’s not.

You bring the situation. We bring the perspective.

Where we start depends on what you already know.

Often we start with an in-depth Bright Culture Check Up. But if you already hold the data, we work with what you have.

2. Workshops &

Programmes

We create learning experiences and moments of connection that foster healthy cultures.

All of our work spans three key pillars that have the most influence.

Three Pillars, Huge Impact.

Healthy Leadership

Being a leader is harder than it has ever been. In recent years the pace of change has been relentless, leaving people and businesses navigating disruption they did not choose.

If leaders cannot lead themselves, or don’t know how to use their influence well, their teams feel it and in turn, so does the business.

We give leaders the skills, confidence and capacity to lead themselves and their people well.

Core themes:

  • The Healthy Leader
  • Healthy Leadership Through Change
  • Healthy Leadership in the Age of AI
  • Navigating Change and Uncertainty, for leadership teams
  • Coaching for Confidence and Capacity

Trust & Safety

Teams with high psychological safety and trust feel free to innovate. They collaborate openly, without unhealthy competition. They are more creative, because they are not managing how they will be judged. And they can be honest and challenge each other without fear of ridicule or punishment.

We build the conditions that make that possible.

Core themes:

  • Building Psychological Safety
  • Healthy Feedback
  • Challenging Conversations
  • Building Team Connection
  • Navigating Change and Uncertainty, for teams

Care & Capacity

In a culture of care, burnout isn’t the price of doing well. People can be themselves, hold healthy boundaries and look after themselves without it counting against them. 

People know how to have the harder conversations. Policies hold up when someone actually needs them.

We help organisations build cultures of care, and check whether what they already have is fit for purpose.

Core themes:

  • Resilience
  • Mental Health 101 –  team and leader version available 
  • Support Circles – for times when specialist care and support may be needed
  • Managing the Inner Critic – team and leader version available 
  • Build confidence, find your voice 

3. Partnership

You can work with us in partnership – from three to twelve months.

We design highly tailored partnerships that comprise consultancy, programmes and coaching for organisations moving through something significant or for organisations building something over time.
