Case Study

Building Culture Foundations with The Culture Cohort at Platf9rm

The Challenge:

In the heart of the city PLATF9RM is a place where businesses and creatives link up to share skills, exchange ideas, and have a good time.

HappyHQ partnered with PLATF9RM to deliver its Culture Cohort programme – a six-week course designed for ambitious start-ups, established SMEs, or companies seeking to align on a people and culture vision to support sustainable growth.

Packed with frameworks, case studies from culture pioneers, practical exercises, and best-practice examples to help members and local businesses build solid people-first culture foundations.

The course was fully funded for PLATF9RM Members and payable for outside members.

Deliverables:

Course outline:

  • What is culture? And why culture in 2024? – Understanding workplace expectations and trends, a culture framework, and defining your desired culture.
  • Discovering purpose and authentic values: Learn how to avoid common pitfalls and establish genuine, impactful core values beyond just words on the wall.
  • Values in action: Create the values ripple effect! Learn how to ensure your values resonate both within and outside your company.
  • Exploring tried and tested culture practices: OKRs, reviews, one-to-ones, company handbooks, value-based job descriptions, stay interviews, employee user manuals, meaningful metrics, and much, much more.
  • Finding values-aligned hires + best hiring practices (with I Love My Job) and supercharging your onboarding process.
  • Share your culture foundations with the cohort: Share your learnings and progress with the group.

The Outcome:

  • Programme sold out within 48 hours!
  • 100% of attendees came away with a clear understanding of their company's culture identity and practical ways to embed it into every aspect of their business.

"HappyHQ exceeded our expectations and working with them has been such a joy. Janine and Sam delivered a fun and engaging programme for our members and local businesses who’ve loved learning together as a cohort.”

“I couldn’t recommend the Culture Cohort from the HappyHQmore.

💡 Thought-provoking

⚡ Insightful

💭 Lots to reflect on

It’s been really useful to step away from the day job and learn with other businesses who – no matter the industry or size – face similar challenges”.

“The Culture Cohort is thoughtfully put together, full of practical insights, and delivered with a healthy measure of down-to-earth humour”.
