Change Chat Recording: What's Really Shaping Your Workplace Culture?

Every organisation has a culture - but the culture you describe on paper isn’t always the one people experience day to day. In this Change Chat, Lucy Trueman, Organisational Psychologist and Founder of Trueman Change, explores the psychology behind workplace culture and the factors that really shape how people behave, work together and experience an organisation. Lucy looks beyond values statements and formal communications to explore the everyday signals that influence culture: how decisions are made, how leaders respond under pressure, what happens when people challenge the norm, and what employees quickly learn they need to do to succeed. In this session, we explore: The difference between stated culture and lived culture What sits beneath the behaviours you can see Why everyday decisions and responses often send stronger signals than formal messages from the top How to understand what your people are really experiencing Why culture problems are rarely simply ‘people problems’ How to move from insight to meaningful change Culture can sometimes feel difficult to pin down, particularly when the symptoms appear as low morale, poor collaboration, resistance to change or inconsistent leadership. But by understanding the experiences, assumptions, behaviours and systems sitting beneath those symptoms, leaders can develop a much clearer picture of what is really happening – and where they can begin to make a difference. This Change Chat is particularly relevant for senior leaders, managers, HR and OD professionals, and anyone responsible for leading organisational change.
