Gallup Q12 meta-analysis

Something feels off on a team long before anyone can name it. The Team Culture Audit replaces guesswork with a structured, confidential read on what’s actually happening, so leadership can act on the real issue instead of the one that’s easiest to see.

How It Runs

Step 1 · Week 1

Listen

Structured interviews or a short confidential survey run across the team.

Step 2 · Week 2

Synthesize

Findings are analyzed into themes, patterns, and root causes.

Step 3 · Week 2–3

Report Back

A facilitated readout delivers the findings directly to leadership.

Why Companies Commission It

An honest outside read. Employees speak more freely to a third party than up their own chain.
A short, prioritized list. Leadership knows exactly where to focus first, in writing.
No open-ended commitment. Fixed scope, fixed fee, done inside three weeks.
