Culture Management
Why is it important for organisations to manage culture?
As a management consultancy with extensive experience in cultural assessments and performance improvement, we at Verita believe that culture is the bedrock of any successful organisation. It’s the operating system that shapes everything from decision-making to employee engagement.
A positive workplace culture provides the ideal foundation for your organisation to flourish, fostering growth, innovation, and ultimately, exceptional performance.
By working with leadership to assess the current culture, identify areas for improvement, and implement strategic changes, we can create a work environment that empowers employees and drives results.

How we support organisations with culture management
We work collaboratively with clients to assess organisational culture and identify areas which may be preventing a business from achieving its objectives using a range of tools and systematic analysis.
As experienced culture change consultants, we have extensive knowledge of the far-reaching impact culture has on the performance of a company, its employees and public perception, and are able to provide practical recommendations to ensure a positive culture is embedded in the organisation.
Workplace culture management
In the corporate world, ethics are important so a positive workplace culture fuels employee engagement. When employees feel valued, respected, and part of a shared purpose, they’re more likely to go the extra mile. This translates to higher productivity, innovation, and ultimately, improved business performance.
In our experience, poor performance can often arise from a hostile or disengaged culture where negativity, low morale, and disrespect are common features.
Examples of poor workplace culture in business include:
Sex discrimination
- Inappropriate comments, jokes, or behaviour of a sexual nature towards female employees
- Women being excluded from training programs or development opportunities that would benefit their careers
- Consistently overlooking qualified women for promotions in favour of less qualified men
Bullying and harassment
- Intentionally excluding someone from meetings, projects, or social events
- Any unwelcome touching, grabbing, or physical intimidation
- Belittling or criticising an employee in front of colleagues
- Yelling, insults, or threats directed at employees
By actively managing culture and creating a safe and inclusive work environment, businesses can avoid these negative consequences and unlock the full potential of their workforce.
Managing your culture
The culture of organisations can be tricky to pin down and to describe, but there is no doubt in our experience that trying to change it can be a challenging process for leaders. With our help, you can get more insight into what your culture is really like, and what practical steps you can take to improve it.
Our whole focus in assessing culture is to help organisations find ways to improve it – not as an end in itself – but as a powerful way to help deliver performance improvements that can be measured and sustained over time.
