Let us help you with your workplace culture
We can assist you in fostering positive values, attitudes and behaviours to cultivate a positive company culture.
Policies that focus on the health and well-being of your people help to shape a culture that all employees are proud to be a part of.
To ensure every member of your team feels valued and safe at work, it’s essential to implement measures that not only protect their physical and mental health but respect their lifestyle choices.
After all, your entire workforce has legal rights and failing to respond to the needs of each of your team members puts your company at risk of losing valued members of staff and tarnishing its reputation. It’s vital that you create and set out professional and inclusive cultural policies and make these available to your entire workforce, including documentation on:
- Anti-harassment and bullying
- Corporate social responsibility
- Cultural expectations
- Equality and diversity
- Training and development
- Wellbeing
Anti-harassment and Bullying
Creating a positive, trusting, and inclusive workplace culture helps to strengthen working relationships and encourage honesty and fair treatment among all employees.
If this isn’t adopted in an organisation, bullying and harassment can take place and have long-term effects on not only the person targeted but also on the culture of the entire workplace. Whether this is the spread of malicious information or unfair treatment based on a person’s protected characteristics such as age, race, religion, or sex, harassment is unlawful under the Equality Act of 2010.
Provide the right access to support for your team by updating your anti-harassment and bullying policy today.
Corporate Social Responsibility
To attract the right talent and encourage your current employees to stay with you, you must show that you care.
Whether this is through community involvement, charitable contributions, or reward programmes it’s essential to align day-to-day business activity with your company values and culture.
Integrating CSR and HR helps to create and sustain fundamental change, showing individuals both internally and externally that you recognise, respect, and support all cultural differences.
Whether your team is taking part in charitable events or volunteering in the local community, these achievements should be documented and attached to your corporate social responsibility plan.
Create a plan for giving back and incorporate your social, environmental, and cultural concerns into your policy.
Cultural Expectations
Establishing a workplace culture is an important step taken by companies to ensure employees are engaged and set up for success.
Crafting a culture that is based on your company’s core vision, values, and beliefs can help leadership teams manage employees effectively and ensure employees know exactly what lies at the heart of the business.
Defining cultural expectations doesn’t necessarily mean outlining how your employees should behave, but instead, encouraging employee involvement and prioritising the development and success of every team member.
This affects your long-standing employees as well as new recruits and you should nail down your cultural expectations in an official policy that is accessible across your entire workplace.
Equality and Diversity
Every workplace is unique and includes a range of diverse minds with bright new ideas, thoughts, and experiences to bring to the table. As an employer, preventing discrimination at all costs can be difficult and all employees must be educated on treating one another fairly regardless of their background, ability, or lifestyle.
To maintain diversity and inclusivity within your company and ensure fair treatment among all colleagues, it’s important to help create a positive atmosphere at work with an appropriate equality and diversity policy that is compliant with the Equality Act of 2010.
At Cultura HR we believe in a partnership approach and can help you to make sure all voices in your company are heard, keeping employees happy and staff morale high.
Training and Development
Training and development opportunities are integral to moulding an innovative, successful and happy workforce. If you are keen for your workforce to grow and adapt to more modern ways of working, it’s important to provide them with the opportunity to do so.
We all want to feel like we are doing our job well and that our efforts are appreciated and the same goes for the people in your team. Providing regular training opportunities where employees can develop their skills in areas related to their day-to-day responsibilities helps to ensure team members are valued and supported in their personal development.
Start planning for the future and create a training and development plan today.
Wellbeing
Burnout is common and can have a hugely negative impact on your workforce. If boundaries aren’t set from the outset your employees will begin to prioritise workload over their own wellbeing and struggle to maintain a work-life balance.
You have a commitment to the health of your employees to ensure that every team member feels they can speak to someone at work, whether that’s to offload the stress of a specific project or to seek help and support.
Attracting those who are right for the job is important but if they are not happy, healthy, and engaged this can affect the sustainability of your entire business. Uphold your duty of care and improve productivity by establishing your company’s well-being policy with your employees in mind.
