Taylor Clarke's Culture Barometer
For over 35 years, Taylor Clarke has been at the forefront of organisational culture transformation, helping businesses create thriving, high-performing teams. Our tried-and-tested methodology combines qualitative and quantitative insights to provide a deep, unbiased and actionable understanding of your company’s culture. By integrating our proven culture survey, one-to-one interviews, and focus groups, we help organisations foster employee engagement, psychological safety, and sustainable business performance, with the foundations tethered in taking care of the people potential throughout the organisation.
The Taylor Clarke Culture Barometer review is the first step to building a culture that unlocks and takes care of potential, the single most important competitive advantage any organisation has.
Why invest in culture now?
A strong workplace culture drives higher engagement, lower turnover, and better business performance. Without an intentional focus on culture, organisations risk promoting employees into leadership without the necessary skills, leading to disengagement, inefficiency, and missed opportunities. Investing early in cultural improvement ensures long-term success, a resilient workforce, and a thriving organisation.
Key Features
This is not an off-the-shelf tool. It’s a bespoke cultural analysis designed to give you actionable insight, aligned to your business context and ambition.
Tailored to your unique culture
Unlike generic culture surveys, our approach is fully customised to reflect the values, goals and aspirations that make your organisation unique.
One size doesn't fit all
Every company’s culture is different. That’s why we’ve developed a buildable framework grounded in research-backed principles and a deep knowledge of organisational culture, so you can benchmark your organisation without being boxed in.
Co-created with you
In our discovery phase, we collaborate closely to understand what you like and what doesn’t sit so well with you about your current culture, as well as taking time to understand your aspirations for your future culture. We then tailor everything, to highlight your strengths and uncover opportunities for growth and ways to achieve the culture you aspire to.

Drill down into specific teams, departments or regions to uncover cultural nuances and differences across your organisation
