Workplace culture's a big topic of conversation right now. Is it the time of year? Is it all this buzz about The Great Resignation? Is it as simple as the fact that we've all had a weird couple of years, and we want our workplace to be a positive place?
A really thriving, positive culture doesn't happen by accident. While it can be influenced from the top or from outside, it's the people on the ground, in the mix, doing the things that really bring it to life.
The great news here is that if you want to find out how to nurture your culture, the answers are already in the room, you just need the right way to get them on the table.
It was such a thrill over the weekend to work with the brand new team set to open the doors at Burns Beach Primary School next year for their 🧠 Kaat, ❤️ Koort, 🤲 Maara staff induction weekend. Using LEGO Serious Play, we built their sense of identity and philosophy, their expectations of themselves and of their colleagues, and their big sense of purpose to develop an inspiring collection of guiding principles to shape how they interact as a new team. They've built such a strong, heartfelt foundation, I can't wait to drop in for a visit next year once they're all up and running.
If you want to take workplace culture seriously, play with it!
