Culture Analytics helps leaders understand and prioritise the most important actions for creating engaging places to work.
We take an insights-based approach with our work to support your decision making by understanding how aligned your people practices are with your organisations goals. We underline this with the latest business psychology, practical experience and learning from other organisations.
We are pragmatic in our approach and help you focus your efforts on aspects that will have the biggest impact on your people and culture and thus your strategic outcomes. We can work with you at different scales, identifying small incremental changes that can make an immediate difference, coaching your leadership teams for longer term sustainable impact, or working in a consulting partnership with you for long term strategies to sustainably transform your culture over time.

- Provide a managed service to deliver all your Qualtrics XM surveys

Culture, Values & People Experience
Organisations that actively manage the experience of their employees and customers significantly outperform those that do not on several key dimensions, such as revenue, growth, profitability and employee retention. We can help you articulate, bring to life and monitor your culture and how your people experience being part of your organisation. Aspects of this could include:
- Vision and values discovery sessions
- Culture transformation and other people focused change initiatives
- Employee journey mapping and listening approach/strategy
- Engagement and retention opportunities
- Values aligned recognition programme design
- Leadership capability and behaviours

Cultures of Sustainability
There is a significant opportunity for organisations to ensure that their employees are aware of, engaged in, and empowered to identify and action continuous improvements in how their organisations operate. To gain the level of change required, people need to be and feel enabled to challenge the power-brokers and decision makers within their companies and also in the industries they operate in, their suppliers, and their communities. This starts with culture. It isn’t enough for leaders to say the words, the words need to reflect their actions and the day-to-day way things get done in the organisation. The fundamental foundation for such change is ensuring people feel involved, included and empowered to act. The team at culture analytics have worked with many hundreds of New Zealand organisations over the last 15 years – helping them build engaged workforces and great places to work. We know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to harnessing the energy and motivation of your people to bring about real change – to achieve your vision.
Our Cultures of Sustainability programme puts the power in your hands to achieve this.

People Analytics
Our team have a blend of psychology, research, and analytics that give us a rare ability to advise on designing and measuring your people strategy. We can help you to identify and measure:
- Key aspects of your people strategy
- Organisational health and dashboarding
- The success and ROI of change initiatives and learning programmes
- Diversity, equity and inclusion targets and goals
- Pay gap analysis and insights

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Fundamental to our ethos is that organisations should provide a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for all its people.
This is achieved by creating a culture where people (regardless of gender, ethnicity, background etc) are comfortable being themselves at work; have the same access to opportunities for participation, development, advancement, and reward; are not disadvantaged or hindered by bias or stereotyped assumptions; are attracted to the organisation as a good place to work and build a successful career; can see different backgrounds in the leaders; are part of a sustainable diverse pipeline to select leaders from in coming years.
We work with you to design an approach to clarify your current state which may include…
- A full audit of your organisations DEI, through Surveys, interviews, focus groups and communications/collateral
- Assessment of the capability, practices and behaviours of leaders and teams
- Make the most of employee-led network groups
- Assessment and advice on organisational communications
- Pay gap analysis
- ‘Target’ setting that actually measures and achieves what you intend

People Data Governance
The world of business generates oceans of data, and we’ve seen how Artificial Intelligence can use data in exciting ways. However, many organisations are only just getting to grips with the need to establish data quality standards so that their data can be used effectively. Culture Analytics can help you set up your data governance programme, walking you through defining data ownership, establishing data quality standards and data security measures. The ultimate aim is to enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of data so that it is correct at the source, and ensure compliance with data protection and privacy regulations. For example:
- Do you have ‘dirty data’ that impacts your business? E.g. inconsistent naming conventions, address fields, product dimensions, using different units, etc?
- Do you have clear definitions for your data such that anyone can understand it, or is this ‘held in someone’s head’?
- Is it clear how the data is captured, how it can be amended, who is responsible for doing so, when and based upon which criteria?
- Is your data in a useable state, and do you derive insights from it?
- Are all key stakeholders part of the data lifecycle, or do some areas get surprised when data they receive is in a new format or is retired?
- Is there a Data Privacy Officer, and is there a process for what to do if there is e.g. a data leak?
