What comes first - brand or culture? Here we were, having a moment of fun on Monday lunchtime to welcome some new faces😁. Just lunch. Or is it? The question isn't which is more important. It's one of sequence - literally, which comes first? For me, its culture. If you don't know who you are as a team, as a business, how you create high performance together, then brand positioning is simply words on a page. With input from the whole team (yes, including lunches to welcome new team mates on a Monday) our culture is growing so 💪! Only then, can you build a meaningful brand that's rooted in the truth of who you really are. How are you building your #culture and #brand? #agencylife Seeblue #abmagency Orla Murphy

Head of people and culture let me ask you this, when was the last time you designed a handshake? Odd question yet it's possibly one of the many ritual that exist in your workplace. Every single day is full of these small interactions and rituals that make up our workplace culture • It's the laughs shared over 10am coffee, • The supportive nods during a presentation • It the fist bump after you smashed it • The quiet moments of empathy between colleagues when someone needs to vent out or provide feedback In my adventure of culture design, and what culture means across different organizations, I've come to appreciate the 'nano experiences.' These are not the headline-grabbing team achievements or the celebrated product launches, but the almost invisible, everyday actions and exchanges that foster a sense of belonging and community. It's in these moments that culture is both tested and strengthened. How we handle the minor setbacks, celebrate the small victories, and support each other through everyday challenges speaks volumes more than any official policy or mission statement. 👀 Look around you. What 'nano experiences' are you part of? How do you contribute to the invisible yet invaluable fabric of your workplace culture? Do you have a team handshake? if no why not In fact, I challenge you to create one and run an experiment with your team for a month just watch how quickly it becomes a ritual and then watch what happens when you stop #DesignThinking #EmployeeExperience #Peopleandculture #ExperienceDesign

Have you ever thought about what it takes to elevate your workplace culture from good to truly great? It's a transformative journey that can unlock incredible potential for your team and your business. At CoCreate Work, we've seen firsthand how a strong culture can evolve into an exceptional one, driving significant positive change. I want to share a recent experience that highlights this transformation. We partnered with a company that already had a good culture. Their team was engaged and had incredibly low turnover. However, they felt there was more potential to be tapped. They wanted to move from a place of good to one of excellence. Through the course of our work with them, we have helped them take a look at all aspects of their culture, audit them, and make some shifts that have taken their culture from really good to exceptional. They moved to a 4-day work week, creating more autonomy and flexibility for the team. They implemented a leave policy that is one of the most inclusive and employee-focused I've ever seen. They've provided meaningful development for their team members. And so much more. The results? The team feels even more connected and empowered, has the space to be innovative, and they have the right team structure and culture for sustaining their growth. Taking a good culture to a great one doesn't just benefit the team—it moves the entire organization to new heights. Improved morale leads to higher retention, better client relationships, and ultimately, a stronger and more sustainable business. This experience has reaffirmed our belief that a great culture isn't a luxury; it's a strategic imperative.

On Friday, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of human connection and culture in delivering exceptional experiences. While picking up my wife, who works at Waitrose, I saw her extend kindness and compassion to a grieving customer. Despite the lady's recent loss of her husband just the day before, my wife took the time to comfort her, help with her shopping, and even sat with her to provide support. This simple act of empathy and care truly resonated with me. Reflecting on this experience, I am reminded of the essential role of fostering a client-centric culture within organizations. To truly excel in experience design, businesses must prioritize creating a workplace culture that empowers employees at all levels to go above and beyond for their customers. As the saying goes, 'culture eats strategy for breakfast' – emphasizing the significance of nurturing a culture that values empathy, kindness, and human connection. This encounter serves as a powerful reminder that exceptional experiences go beyond just digital interfaces. They are rooted in genuine human interactions and a culture that encourages and enables employees to embody empathy and kindness in their interactions with clients. Kudos to my wife for exemplifying these values every day. #experiencedesign #experience #humanatthecentre #digital

From Christmas traditions to Carnival celebrations, rituals shape our cultures and create lasting memories. But have you ever thought about how intentional rituals can transform your company culture? In this week's "My 2 Cents in 2 Minutes," I explore how organizational rituals – from daily huddles to annual celebrations – can become powerful tools for brand alignment. Just like cultural festivities bring communities together, purposeful workplace rituals reinforce your brand values and create authentic experiences. Remember: Strong cultures aren't built by accident. They're built by design, one ritual at a time. What ritual will you create today? Watch to discover how you can turn your brand values into living, breathing experiences through the power of rituals. #BrandAlignment #CompanyCulture #EmployeeEngagement #OrganizationalDevelopment #BrandStrategy #CorporateCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessGrowth HRMATT Human Resource Management Assoc. of T&T MergeCX

Let’s talk about inspiration… Where do you find it? We’ve found ours in each other, fuelled by Starbucks, and in having the luxury of time. Time to dig deep into everything we’ve learned, and explore the shifts we’re seeing in the world of work and frankly, the world. That’s led us to shape a new piece of research in partnership with CultureCon, but more on that soon… That time to think has been a gift. So to celebrate Fauna’s launch, we’d love to give that back to you… So, would you like a free inspo session? We’re spending the next few weeks running employee experience inspiration sessions with teams from some really exciting businesses. They’re 90 minutes and can work for teams large and small. They’re designed to pull us out of the everyday, and into a space where we can think differently and, more boldly, than we usually gift ourselves time to do.
