The people and culture review process 

The thorough review includes: 

  • reviewing policies, job descriptions, contracts and documents

  • analysing processes for hiring, managing and exiting employees 

  • investigating results of engagement surveys 

  • interviewing leadership, managers and team members across a variety of departments

  • assessing procedures

  • considering your employee value proposition 

  • looking at competitors to see how your organisation compares 

  • assessing your communication styles 

  • taking a cultural health check 

  • identifying your key strengths and weaknesses  

  • reviewing structures, reporting lines and responsibilities of teams and individuals 

What you get from the people and culture review

Once the review stage is complete, we then prepare and present your detailed report which includes: 

  • key insights and results arising from the review 

  • your organisational strengths and weaknesses when it comes to people and culture 

  • the top challenges that should be addressed first to improve your culture, efficiency and performance 

  • recommendations for key projects to realign your culture, processes and structure to better support your organisational goals 

After the people and culture review, you’ll be equipped to better understand your key challenges and have the framework and roadmap to systematically address and improve your people and culture practices. 

Who’s a good fit for this service?

Typically, people and culture review are undertaken by organisations that: 

  • are mid-sized, with between 30-300 employees

  • turn over $5-20 million annually 

  • have minimal or no in-house HR capability

  • are ready for (or already experiencing) a surge in growth

  • need systems and structures to provide better support to team members and reduce risk 

Employee interviews can pinpoint specific challenges and opportunities 

By speaking with a range of team members, we get a sense of how opinions vary across the organisation. We include a cross-section of team members at all levels, including senior leaders, middle managers, and junior employees. We also include team members who are relatively new to the organisation, as well as those who’ve been with the organisation for longer periods. 

Having the opportunity to speak with a third party interviewer allows team members to feel comfortable expressing their opinion honestly. This enables you to gain a deeper understanding of the genuine state of play. 

Don’t wait for a people crisis to strike

By taking proactive action, you can avoid larger problems down the track.
