As organisations grow, change, and adapt, workplace culture evolves too. Regular workplace culture assessments from Tell Jane help you understand how employees experience the workplace, identify opportunities for improvement, and address emerging concerns before they become formal concerns.

Our culture assessment services deliver independent, practical insight that helps you strengthen culture, support employees, and make informed decisions based on evidence

Why Workplace Culture Matters

Workplace culture influences almost every part of an organisation. And in certain industries, such as creative or television production, culture is vital to the output.

It shapes how people work together, how leaders communicate, how confident employees feel raising concerns, and whether people feel respected, valued, and able to do their best work.

A positive culture helps organisations attract talented people, strengthen employee relationships, and reduce the likelihood of grievances and workplace conflict.

When culture begins to deteriorate, the effects are often seen long before formal complaints arise. Employee engagement may fall, communication may become more difficult, teams can become disconnected, and concerns may remain hidden until they escalate.

Understanding your workplace culture allows you to identify these patterns early and take meaningful action.

Our Workplace Culture Assessment Services

Rather than relying on assumptions or isolated feedback, workplace culture assessments gather evidence to help organisations understand what is working well, where improvements can be made, and whether there are any emerging risks that need attention.

The goal is not simply to identify problems. Our consultants provide practical insight that supports better leadership, stronger employee experiences, and healthier workplace culture. It can stop concerns escalating.

Tell Jane offers two workplace culture assessment services, each designed to answer a different question.

Culture Assurance Visits

Best for organisations where people change regularly and teams work on shorter term projects.

Culture assurance visits are proactive, one-day organisational culture reviews that provide an independent snapshot of your workplace. Developed particularly for television, film, theatre, sport, and other fast-moving environments, they help identify emerging risks, support positive employee experiences and identify concerns before they develop into formal employee relations issues.

Many organisations choose to include culture assurance visits as part of ongoing culture programmes. Culture can be monitored as productions, projects, and teams evolve.

Culture Assurance Visits

Neutral Workplace Assessment

Ideal when wider organisational concerns already exist and independent insight is needed.

Perhaps you’re getting regular poor feedback from exit interviews or have spotted a potential problem within a team? 

Our neutral workplace assessment provides a more detailed workplace culture review through things like interviews, focus groups, surveys, and independent analysis. It helps you better understand employee experience, leadership and communication, before concerns become grievances or formal investigations.

You get a board-level report that includes evidence-based findings, strategic recommendations, and practical actions.

Why Employees Don’t Always Speak Up

Many organisations already have reporting processes in place, yet concerns still go unreported.

Employees worry about how their concern will be received. They worry about being believed, the impact on relationships and confidentiality. There is a huge concern over possible repercussions after raising an issue.

For some employees, having access to an independent speak up service creates the confidence needed to come forward.
An independent reporting channel removes the barriers that stop people raising concerns internally.

Creating a culture where people feel safe to speak up is one of the most effective ways to identify problems early and build trust.

Anonymous Employee Reporting and Confidentiality

Tell Jane’s whistleblowing hotline supports both anonymous employee reporting and confidential reporting. Employees can remain anonymous if they do not want their identity disclosed.

Anonymous employee reporting can be vital where workplace relationships, seniority, or possible repercussions are an issue.
Others may feel comfortable sharing their details. But they still might want their concerns handled confidentially.

Tell Jane advisers always handle anonymity and confidentiality with seriousness. However, where serious concerns are raised, we know that organisations have a responsibility to act.

For example, concerns relating to bullying, harassment, discrimination, safeguarding, health and safety, or serious misconduct may need investigation or intervention.

Concerns cannot be ignored or hidden if there is a risk of further harm. In this way we help protect employees and the organisation. But also ensuring concerns are managed appropriately.

What Can Employees Report?

Employees use a whistleblowing service to raise a wide range of concerns, including bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, discrimination and safeguarding concerns. They might raise health and safety risks, unethical conduct, fraud, misconduct, breaches of policy, and other inappropriate workplace behaviour.

Sometimes people need a safe place to discuss what they have experienced, seen, or are concerned about.

What is a workplace culture assessment?

A workplace culture assessment is an independent review that helps organisations better understand employee experience, workplace behaviours, leadership, and organisational culture while identifying opportunities for improvement.

Why should organisations assess their workplace culture?

Regular workplace culture assessments help you identify emerging concerns early. They strengthen leadership action, improve employee experience and reduce the likelihood of larger employee relations issues developing.

What is the difference between a culture assurance visit and a neutral workplace assessment?

Culture assurance visits are assurance spot checks through one-day on-site reviews and are suited to set-ups where people are constantly changing, such as theatres. Neutral workplace assessments are more detailed diagnostic reviews designed to explore wider organisational concerns. This might be, for example, where exit interviews highlight patterns of concern. They are not suited for incidents where discrimination, bullying or harassment are involved.

How is a workplace culture assessment different from a workplace investigation?

A workplace culture assessment looks at organisational culture, employee experience, and emerging themes. A workplace investigation examines specific allegations and establishes the facts relating to an individual complaint. Workplace investigations usually involve serious allegations.

Can workplace culture assessments be tailored?

Yes. Every Tell Jane workplace culture assessment is designed around your organisation’s objectives, challenges, and working environment. We agree the scope with you before anything else.

Which workplace culture assessment is right for my organisation?

If you’re looking for a health and safety style check that your workplace is healthy and want to identify any risks, a Culture Assurance Visit may be the right choice. If concerns or themes already exist and you need a deeper understanding of the underlying issues, a Neutral Workplace Assessment is likely to be more appropriate. We can help you decide which service best meets your needs.
