Culture rarely breaks overnight.
Long before the complaints, resignations, incidents or reputational damage, there are usually signals. Pressure building. Trust eroding. Leaders stretched. People going quiet. Work becoming harder than it needs to be.
And yet so much of what is really happening inside an organisation can remain invisible until something finally surfaces.
This is one of the conversations sitting at the heart of The Thriving Workplace this November and our theme, The Human in the Being.
Because culture isn’t an engagement score or a set of values on a wall.
It is the lived experience of work.
What people experience from their leaders. How work is designed. Where pressure sits. Whether people feel safe to speak. What gets rewarded, tolerated or avoided. And what is really happening beneath the surface.
At Thriving this November, Vanessa Fudge will explore this in Welcome to the Culture Economy alongside two brilliant CEOs:
Hosted by Vanessa Fudge, Founder – Leading Well Group
Exploring how culture, leadership patterns and work design shape wellbeing, performance and psychosocial risk.
Simon Hair, Managing Director – Precision Sourcing
Bringing the perspective of a business leader who has spent years deliberately building and evolving culture from the inside.
Heather Hollingworth, CEO – Better Care Group
Bringing the reality of leading transformation across people, systems and service delivery in a complex human services environment.
Together they’ll explore what culture looks and feels like from the leader’s seat – and why understanding the human system beneath an organisation matters more than ever.
Ahead of November, Vanessa is opening up another part of this conversation next week with a complimentary online session on the 27 October, 2pm – 3pm.
Stress test your culture before it stress test you will explore culture risk and the warning signs that can exist long before issues show up through complaints, incidents, regulatory attention or reputational damage.
The session will look at how leaders can move beyond engagement scores to better understand the leadership, structural and relational conditions shaping culture, where pressure and psychosocial risk may be emerging, and what organisations can do earlier.
A great opportunity to start exploring this conversation with us ahead of November. You can reserve a spot by registering here.
We’d still love you to join us at Thriving.… Step out of the day-to-day, catch your breath and be part of the conversations that truly matter!
