Phishing, impersonations, viruses, or malware. Every day, the attacks become more sophisticated, deceitful, and increasingly dangerous. At Cultures That Pop, we help organisations prevent danger, prepare for attacks, and, in the worst instances, navigate the nightmare of a full-scale incident. In this blog, we’ll share just some of the lessons we've learned from leading crisis incidents in attacked organisations. 

The intuitive, people-first approach drew me to The People Experience Hub. While many engagement platforms focus purely on collecting data, PX Hub takes things further by offering real-time insights and action-driven recommendations. I’m all about action.

Introducing a new CEO to your business is a major undertaking. Handle the change management well, and you’ll reassure your people that the change is positive.

A new era of leadership is here—where CEO stands for more than Chief Executive Officer. With 71% of CEOs saying culture positively impacts financial performance, it’s an era where the smartest leaders know culture is the most significant competitive advantage. So, the CEO fully embodies every aspect of Culture and Engagement and, as a result, creates endless Opportunities for their business. These three elements are the cornerstone of epic success.

Office design is more than just aesthetics—it’s a strategic tool for fostering employee engagement, wellbeing, and productivity. Studies show that well-designed workspaces can boost productivity by up to 20% and significantly reduce stress, while 90% of employees say their office environment directly impacts their job satisfaction (Leesman Index, 2022). This case study looks at the profound impact of thoughtful workplace design and how Cultures That POP supported the rollout of a workplace design that really rocked.

We bridge the gap between creative brand identity and the realities of employee engagement. Together, we understand that every business problem is a human problem, and we’ve got all bases covered on how to overcome each hurdle.

In times of crisis, finding the right words and actions can feel overwhelming. The California wildfires have left many of us feeling heartbroken, witnessing the devastation they bring. As leaders, we are called upon to provide reassurance, guidance, and support to those who look up to us—not to fix the situation immediately, as some challenges are beyond our control, but to help navigate it together.

“10/10 Event! I loved it. This afternoon made my year!!” - When a global tech company approached us to revolutionise how they celebrate and appreciate their people, we saw an exciting challenge: how do you create a memorable, meaningful and truly engaging experience for a global workforce?

It’s easy for senior leaders to make assumptions about how employees work. But the thing with assumptions, they aren’t always right. And when you’re investing serious money into your workspace intending to drive engagement and productivity, incorrect assumptions will be expensive. So, how to avoid that? Let’s look at activity-based working.

With ambitious growth plans, a new CEO and a shift in pace, MPLC chose Cultures that POP to reset the strategy, redefine the culture and realign the entire business.

With countless platforms, features, and providers to choose from, it can be an intimidating process to even consider implementing an employee engagement survey. In this episode, we will guide you through the process from start to finish. We'll talk about where to begin, what to be careful of, and the essential steps you need to take to ensure that you select the perfect partner and platform that aligns with your organisation's unique needs.

Successfully embedding future strategies is absolutely essential to the success of growth plans. In previous years, I’ve seen strategies delivered at an all-hands event and then forgotten about the week after. Leaders need something substantial that lands with impact, engages an entire workforce and is spoken about, used and referred to repeatedly… beyond the All Hands session.

As we kick off the year, consider this: How can you unlock your team's full potential at work? And as a leader, how can you deepen your responsibility to nurture your community—ensuring happiness, a sense of belonging, and letting everyone know that their daily contributions truly matter?
