Culture assurance visits

Independent on-site reassurance that your workplace culture is healthy, your people feel supported, and small concerns are identified before they become bigger problems.

Creative workplaces move quickly. Productions grow and change, freelance teams come together for short periods. And people often work under pressure.

A culture assurance visit is a proactive, one-day review that provides a snapshot of your workplace culture. It helps you identify emerging risks, understand how people are experiencing the workplace, and take practical action before concerns develop into grievances, investigations, or wider employee relations issues.

Particularly useful for television, film, theatre, live events, sport, and other fast-paced environments, Tell Jane’s culture assurance visits give you the reassurance that your workplace is positive, creating a safe and respectful space.

What we do

What Is a Culture Assurance Visit?

A culture assurance visit is a one-day, independent on-site culture review carried out by an experienced Tell Jane consultant.

In the same way a health and safety inspection identifies physical risks before incidents occur, our culture assurance visits spot risks before they affect people, productions, or organisational performance.

The visit is preventative rather than reactive. It’s an independent process that allows people to highlight concerns in a safe way before they develop into larger issues.

It’s not an investigation. It is a proactive review that helps you identify risks and stay ahead of problems rather than respond to them after they have occurred.

Ideal For Creative Productions

Culture assurance visits are ideal for industries where teams change quickly and traditional HR processes are not always practical.

Television productions, theatre companies, film sets, sporting environments, and live events often bring together freelance workers, temporary teams, and changing leadership structures. Concerns are not always raised, or there may be a lack of formal reporting channels, particularly when people are working together for a limited period.

Tell Jane’s independent consultants give employees the opportunity to speak openly with someone who is separate from the production. They provide valuable insight into the employee experience while there is still time to make improvements.

As creative industries continue to face greater scrutiny around workplace culture and behaviour, our on-site culture reviews are a proactive step to supporting both people and productions.

Tell Jane don’t just resolve issues, they help you understand them. Their approach is calm, rigorous and deeply human, turning challenging situations into an opportunity for real cultural change.

How It Works

How a Workplace Assurance Visit Works

Together, we establish the purpose of the visit, who will be involved, and how information will be gathered.

During the visit, Tell Jane’s practitioner spends time speaking with employees, observing the working environment, and exploring areas such as:

employee experience
workplace behaviours
leadership
communication
confidence in reporting concerns
overall workplace culture

The process is supportive, confidential, and takes place without disrupting the production or workplace

Every on-site culture review is tailored to your production or organisation, reflecting the way your teams work and the challenges they face.

The visit is not to investigate allegations. It is designed to identify emerging cultural risks before formal investigations become necessary.
