Workplace culture can be the greatest asset, or the greatest liability, an organisation has. Yet it is widely misunderstood, rarely talked about and routinely ignored. Managed well, culture is a potential source of riches. A healthy, happy and harmonious working environment results in more engaged, loyal and productive employees, and improved levels of innovation and creativity.

In large organisations, individual managers often feel powerless to effect cultural change. They can see that there are elements of the corporate culture that don’t enable employees to be the best they can possibly be. They are worried that some of the behaviours they witness, and some of the conversations they are party to, are not conducive to a happy, healthy, working environment.

The issue of racism and discrimination at work is never far from the headlines. Recent news reports suggest that, despite efforts to tackle it, prejudice and discrimination are still rife in the NHS, and getting worse rather than better in the Met Police. A recent survey from UK-based Youth Futures found that a third of young people with minority ethnic backgrounds had experienced racist remarks, jokes or banter at work.

We consume the leadership of our managers, the culture of our organisations, and yes, even the HR processes that shape our daily experiences. Imagine if we treated our employees with the same care and consideration we give our customers. What if we viewed HR processes as products, carefully designed to meet the needs of their users – us, the employees? It’s a simple shift in thinking, but the implications are profound.

Many of our current procedures to create justice at work at not fit for purpose and do not garner positive working relationships. There is a better way.
If you work in HR, you will have experienced that sinking feeling whenever you hear that an employee wants to invoke a grievance or disciplinary procedure. It’s no wonder. These are some of the most toxic, damaging and destructive polices in our organisations.

If HR is to succeed, we need to find a way to meet our detractors and build employee trust.
Trust in HR is historically low, primarily because most employees see HR as advocates for the business who are focused on risk and compliance, rather than advocates for employees and their needs. A 2022 Crucial Learning survey found that 75% of employees don’t trust that their HR leader cares about their needs.

Political discourse and debate across Europe – indeed across the world – has become increasingly entrenched, divisive and disrespectful thanks, in part, to a rise in populism. As views have become increasingly polarised, where rhetoric and hyperbole have replaced healthy discourse, the political landscape has become volatile and unstable. But it’s not just in politics where we are seeing entrenched opinions and an unwillingness to listen to opposing views.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has made constant references to "serving the people", committing to return politics to the principle of public service.

The concept of servant leadership is not new.
