Culture & Engagement
Company culture and employee engagement are essential to building a successful, high-performing business. Our culture & engagement surveys provide actionable insights into the health of your business, helping you identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. By fostering a growth mindset, businesses can boost employee satisfaction, enhance productivity, and drive overall success.
Are There Any Tests for Workplace Culture?
Workplace culture, values, employee engagement, and well-being are key drivers of an organisation's performance and overall success. Understanding and measuring workplace culture is essential, as it directly influences both quantitative aspects, such as productivity and profitability, and qualitative factors, including staff morale, motivation, and teamwork.
The most effective business leaders recognise that success is not just about what a company does but also how it operates. A strong organisational culture impacts not only employees but also customers, suppliers, and potential recruits. It shapes the behaviours that are rewarded, how teams collaborate, and how decisions are made.
To enhance business performance, managers must have access to reliable, data-driven insights about their organisation's culture and values. Accurate workplace culture surveys empower leaders to identify strengths and address development areas within their teams.
At eras, our culture & engagement solutions help you build a clear, strategic approach by uncovering the hidden dynamics of your workplace. By identifying your organisation's cultural strengths and growth opportunities, you can lay a solid foundation for lasting success and positive change.
The Power of Culture & Engagement
An organisation's culture, values, employee engagement, and well-being are widely acknowledged as having key influences on its performance and effectiveness.
What is Workplace Culture?
Workplace culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, and behaviours characterising an organisation. A workplace culture survey should reveal everything from the way staff interact with each other to the company's mission and vision.
What is Employee Engagement?
Conducting a workplace culture survey gauges your employees' engagement level, outlining the degree to which employees are involved, committed, and enthusiastic about their work.
The Benefits of a Strong Culture and Engaged Workforce
The most effective business leaders are those who pay attention to what a company does in terms of its operations and how it does it.
Improved Employee Satisfaction and Morale
A positive workplace culture can significantly boost employee satisfaction and morale. Employees who feel valued, respected, and supported are more likely to be happy and engaged in their work.
Increased Productivity and Performance
Engaged employees are more productive and perform better. They are more likely to go the extra mile, take initiative, and contribute to the organisation's success.
Enhanced Innovation and Creativity
A strong workplace culture can foster innovation and creativity. Employees who feel empowered to share their ideas and take risks are more likely to develop innovative solutions.
Stronger Employer Brand and Talent Attraction
A positive workplace culture can enhance an organisation's employer brand and attract top talent. When potential employees see that your organisation has a strong culture and values, they are more likely to want to work there, whilst current employees will work to stay.

Your Workplace Culture Survey and Employee Perception Survey Report
Culture, values, employee engagement, and well-being are vital to a business's performance and effectiveness. These reports allow your business to identify its strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to make more informed decisions about what is working well and what needs improvement.
Survey Details 1/1
Culture & Engagement allows you to compare your results to other organisations, and to your own past surveys. To allow you to put the information in context, survey details are provided regarding the number of people who took part, the dates over which they completed it, the region of area where the survey took place, the sector of the workforce involved and the size of the organisation participating. This information is also provided for any comparison groups you choose to include in the survey, and your own past survey results.
Customisable Initial Questions 1/2
The initial section of the questionnaire is fully customisable, allowing you to ask questions to gather factual information that describes the participants who have been asked to take part in the survey. We provide a default range of questions, but this section can be tailored to include any information that you would like to collect. Questions can be single/multiple choice or open text, voluntary or compulsory and can all be used to further analyse the results gathered from the Culture & Values, and Employee Engagement sections of the survey.
Culture, Values, Engagement & Wellbeing 1/5
The culture, values and level of employee engagement within an organisation are widely acknowledged as having key influences on its performance and effectiveness. This is also true of how an organisation handles the wellbeing of its employees, which is particularly apparent during difficult times. These influences can impact on both harder quantitative aspects of organisational performance (e.g. productivity, profitability) and softer qualitative aspects (e.g. staff morale and motivation). This section of the survey looks at how an organisation is perceived by measuring a selection of scales including clarity of vision, motivation, organisational learning, integrity, team work, customer focus, diversity, staff development, quality, innovation, business focus and autonomy. Engagement and wellbeing are explored at both an individual and an organisational level.
Top Values 1/8
The survey asks participants to identify the top three areas from the Culture, Values, Engagement and Wellbeing section that matter most to their own personal motivation, as well as the three which they feel matter most to the future success of their organisation. This optional area is very useful for focusing on any subsequent changes that organisations might want to make on the basis of a survey by highlighting what employees really consider important to prioritise. It prevents being distracted by areas which very few consider to be important.
Initial Question Splits 1/11
Sometimes it is necessary to understand how different demographic groups perceive your organisation in a variety of ways. Using the initial questions asked at the start of the survey you can use the Culture & Engagement tool to find out how the perception of your organisation varies by department, region, specialism or any other questions you choose to ask.
Comments 1/12
Sometimes a survey will not discuss all of the topics that a participant may want to address. Whenever a participant is asked to complete a Culture & Engagement survey, they are asked to provide some follow up comments that relate to the feedback they have provided as part of the survey itself, or that they feel need to be raised or included as part of the Culture & Engagement process. Ensuring that participants are able to provide comments ensures that voices are heard, views are acknowledged and insights are valued.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Cultural surveys involve looking at the collective behaviour and expectations of employees, while employee engagement surveys focus more on the factors that motivate employees to continuously perform at their best. Our surveys look at both, as well as areas like well-being and values.
