A strong, people-centric company culture is the cornerstone of a successful business. It is the guiding force that shapes employee behaviour and defines how a company operates internally and externally. A positive company culture fosters innovation, motivates employees, and leads to higher levels of engagement and retention. In contrast, a negative culture can impact productivity, damage reputation, and hinder growth.
At The Happy Business School, our focus is to help you create a company culture where employees feel valued, happy, and supported. By working closely with your organisation, we help you understand and develop your unique company culture and put it at the heart of your business.
When it comes to company culture, no two organisations are the same. Taking a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each business is essential. We follow a systematic process to ensure your organisation’s growth and improvement align with your company’s core values and culture.
The starting point is always to understand your current company culture. Carrying out this assessment might involve interviews, surveys, and workplace observations to gain a deeper understanding of the core values, beliefs, and expectations that shape your company’s day-to-day operations and longer-term strategy.
Next, we work closely with your leadership team to develop a comprehensive strategy for creating a people-centric company culture. This involves setting clear objectives and goals, identifying areas of improvement, and designing actionable plans to bring about positive change.
With a tailored strategy in place, we can work with your company to implement the changes needed. We can provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure your company’s culture journey progresses smoothly and successfully.
Throughout the process, we can support you to help continuously measure results, monitor progress, and gather feedback. By evaluating the impact of the changes you’ve made, you can ensure the best possible outcomes for your business and its company culture.

One definition of company culture, or workplace culture as it’s sometimes referred to, is that it’s how things are done in the organisation and how people interact with each other. It encompasses the values, beliefs, behaviours and attitude of the people who work there.
Company culture is the foundation of any organisation. It’s the way business is done and informs so much within the organisation from employee satisfaction and staff retention to productivity and customer service.
The Happy Business School’s founder, Carly Cannings, describes workplace culture as the collective mindset of an organisation. This means that if the mindset of the people who work there is people-focused, they are caring and always striving to do better, this will become the culture of the organisation. Conversely, if people’s mindset is self-serving and secretive that will be reflected in the culture.
The Happy Business School offers talks, workshops, and consulting services to help leaders create people-first cultures and equip individuals with tools needed to increase their happiness at work.
Great company culture usually requires high levels of trust and respect, open and clear communication, fairness and inclusivity and leaders who genuinely care about, and value, their people as a starting point.
A culture consultant helps organisations to create and nurture positive company cultures. The Happy Business School provides culture consultancy to support the creation of people-centric cultures, where happy people can thrive at work.
Every organisation has a culture – good, bad or ugly. Company cultures can vary greatly from business to business. Some have a fast-paced, high-energy culture where people are always competing to come up with the next great idea, others have a more supportive and relaxed culture, where the leadership approach is much gentler. Neither is wrong so long as the people there are able to flourish and feel safe.
Getting a good understanding of your current culture is a great starting point. You should try to do this in a number of ways – surveys and interviews are great but so are more informal ways like observing interactions and asking people how they feel about working in the organisation.
Once you have a clear idea of your current culture, create a strategy and decide which areas you need to focus on first and how you are going to track your success. Working with a culture consultant can help with this process.
The Happy Business School can help by assessing your current culture, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing strategies to create a positive, productive environment. Our consultancy can be as unique as your business – we’ll work with you to find a solution that’s just right.
