Establishing a speak up culture isn’t just a nice to have for organisations, it’s an essential part of your people and wider business strategy. The research is clear, organisations with a healthy workplace culture are 21% more profitable than those without* and positive culture is linked to increased levels of productivity, high employee retention and advocacy rates and a better reputation.
Many organisations are likely to already be using some form of HR software, whether it’s for payroll, employee engagement or performance management and may be tempted to use their existing HR software reporting tools because it is a convenient option.
Making real progress in culture change requires a more focussed approach using tools that are designed to make reporting issues easy and transparent for employees. Investing in a purpose-built platform like Culture Shift can transform your approach to culture management, build trust and support you more effectively to establish a healthy and sustainable speak up culture.
Developed by culture transformation experts
Culture Shift is a platform that has been developed with the input of a team of culture transformation experts with real knowledge and experience of what it takes to change workplace cultures. We have spent years working with organisations to address the root causes of a toxic workplace culture and understand the nuances and barriers to reporting. Because of that, we’ve been able to build deep cultural insight into our platform, influencing every element of our software from how reports are made, managed and acted upon.
Dedicated, purpose-designed culture platform
Whilst some HR software providers offer an anonymous reporting bolt-on, it is often a compliance checkbox rather than a platform that drives long-term cultural change.
Other types of HR software can be vital to improving employee experience such as employee benefits software, payroll and HR admin software, but lack a targeted approach to culture transformation. We build solutions for culture conscious organisations, empowering organisations to build healthy, speak up cultures, solving cultural problems and delivering lasting change.
Every aspect of our platform is built with the end user in mind. Through thorough research and user testing, we have built a step-by-step reporting process that gives anyone that has experienced or witnessed culture damaging behaviours the comfort they need to report safely, whilst giving you the context you need to act.
Powerful analytics and reporting capabilities
The best way to understand your organisation’s culture and change it, is through data. Culture Shift’s platform doesn’t just give you a simple dashboard and out of the box reports, it has powerful, customisable reporting and analytic capabilities that are at the core of our solution.
Our analytic dashboards give you top level insight so you can easily pinpoint issues and identify trends. With sophisticated reporting insights that dig deeper into your organisation’s culture and analyse data on a more granular level, you can spot patterns, identify root causes and tailor your interventions towards preventative action.
You’ll be able to answer questions like:
- Are people speaking up more or less?
- Are certain types of behaviour increasing in a specific department or location
- Who is your highest risk group this quarter?
- What is the biggest issue our people are facing right now?
- Which areas need the most proactive support?
With deeper insight you can take a more targeted approach to your intervention and culture building activity, leading to greater return and bigger impact projects that transform silence into speaking up.
Integrated case management system
Culture Shift’s all-in-one platform includes a comprehensive case management system – from the moment a report lands, our CMS is designed to make every step of support seamless and intuitive. With effective triage tools, you can prioritise reports by risk and individual case managers to ensure cases are dealt with effectively all within one secure platform.
Safe and secure, built for compliance
The very nature of anonymous reporting means that it should be truly anonymous, safe and secure.
Legal and regulatory compliance should be top of the agenda for any business; it may sound obvious but it’s possible that your HR software provider is based outside of the UK and therefore complies with a different country’s regulations. Some anonymous reporting platforms are created by US companies and may not adhere to the same rules and regulatory standards as we do in the UK such as the Worker Protection Act and Employee Rights Bill.
You should always check that the software you plan to use is compliant in your country to avoid any legal issues further down the line. Culture Shift is safe and secure, we are ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials accredited, complying with UK legislation.
With an ever-changing workplace compliance landscape, our platform is designed to keep organisations compliant now and into the future.
Ongoing, wrap around support from a team of culture transformation experts
Software alone doesn’t change culture. That’s why we offer so much more than an anonymous reporting platform, we work in partnership with our customers to actively change culture.
From getting buy-in from managers and stakeholders, to engaging employees through to ongoing activation campaigns, Culture Shift has the experience to support you to drive forward culture change initiatives, which isn’t often the case when you buy HR Software.
We’ve developed tailormade campaigns to engage employees that are ready for activation in your organisation helping you to drive adoption of our anonymous reporting platform, supporting your internal team with valuable resources which are focused on best practice culture transformation.
Not to mention that when you choose Culture Shift, you join an exclusive community of Culture-Shift practitioners. Our Community of Practice brings our partners together at in-person and virtual events, facilitating discussion spaces for ongoing conversations for peer-led support and helping you overcome any challenges you face when it comes to changing your organisation’s culture.
Training and education for your team
Culture change is a journey, and we’re pleased to have developed our Training Academy to offer continued education for your team, equipping them with the knowledge, tools and confidence to lead culture change from within their organisation.
We also arrange events, webinars and continuous learning events throughout the year, bringing together our community to learn alongside other practitioners.
