How does your culture score?
Lead with Clarity. Act with Confidence. Build a Culture That Lasts
Measure, improve and showcase your workplace culture
HELM Culture Score is a proprietary scoring system that quantifies your organisation’s culture based on employee feedback. Through our comprehensive survey, we assess key drivers of engagement and workplace satisfaction, culminating in a single score out of 100. This score offers a clear snapshot of your organisational health and is the starting point to identify areas for improvement.
HELM Culture Score provides a unique, trackable metric, enabling you to understand employee engagement, benchmark against industry peers, and proudly display your commitment to a positive workplace culture.
Leadership Framework: Before. During. After.
Culture doesn’t change because of a survey. It changes because of what leaders do with it.
Our Leadership Framework ensures your managers are set up to succeed. We support your leaders to:
- Set the tone before the survey
- Guide their teams during the process
- Lead the change after the results
Because the best engagement strategy starts — and ends — with leadership.
