Why HELM culture score?

You can’t show what you can’t measure

You know your culture matters. You just can’t prove it.

When a candidate asks what it’s really like to work for you, when a tender demands evidence of how you treat your people, when your board wants more than a gut feel, you reach for an engagement survey and find a dashboard nobody trusts and a number you can’t share.

HELM Culture Score is different.

It’s a workplace culture credential: a single, independent score, built on what your employees actually experience, that you can put in front of candidates, clients, and boards with confidence. It also gives you and your leadership team a starting point for the conversations that are often overdue.

You’ve always cared about culture. You’ve just never had a way to prove it.

What you get from HELM Culture Score

A simpler way to measure culture

10 questions. No Complexity.

Most surveys exhaust your people and bury the signal. We ask ten questions that matter, and nothing that doesn’t. People answer honestly because it’s short enough to bother.

Built on real employee experience.

Every question measures how work actually feels and not how it gets reported upwards. That’s why the score holds up when someone outside your organisation looks at it.

Getting started with HELM Culture Score

Share a few details: your name, your headcount, your sector. It takes minutes, and it’s how we set your benchmark. HELM Culture Score is built for UK organisations with 30 or more employees, the point at which survey results start to behave predictably.

Send your people a single, anonymous link. Ten questions, five minutes, no logins. We handle distribution and collection and you just share the link and let the honest answers come in.

Once responses are in, you get your score across all five pillars, plus reflection prompts on your two lowest-scoring areas, a starting point for the conversations that matter, before you take the score anywhere else.

Use the reflection prompts to start the conversations your team needs. Then show your credential externally, on your careers page, in tenders, and in front of your board. Measure again next cycle and see where you’ve moved.
