How long does culture operations take?

How jacked up is your culture? All kidding aside, that varies widely.  Our minimum effective engagement is 3 months.  We have clients with whom we have been engaged for 2+ years in different roles and to various degrees of intensity.  On average 9 – 12 months is a typical engagement.

What if I just need help with one thing?

That certainly depends on what you need help with! We are not a project-based organization.  We work with our clients over time to create lasting organizational change.  Let’s talk and see what problem you’re trying to solve.

What is a Quarterly Game Plan (QGP)?

The Culture Works QGP is a collaborative roadmap meant to review the progress we have made as an extension of your team and pave the way for the upcoming quarter’s initiatives.  The QGP is a working blueprint that changes as initiatives come to the forefront and others are accomplished and can move off the front burner.

Are you recruiters?

We create strategic recruiting plans and assist in the process of finding the right role-aligned candidate to support your team.  Traditionally, recruiters have been seen as aggressive head hunters trying to put butts in seats.  That’s not us.  But yes, we do actively participate in your hiring process to ensure the right candidates find the right roles.

Do you do all the HR work for us?

We do not. For our team to be effective, we need an internal stakeholder in an HR role.  We support that person by operationalizing all of the tasks around them so they can be effective in their job and not bogged down in busywork.
