Culture in Architectural Practice
What does culture really mean and how do we ensure it is front and centre in our practices? Watch HR experts Rhonda Brighton-Hall and James Hancock explore the importance of culture in architectural practice.
THIS CPD WEBINAR IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON DEMAND.
Culture has many definitions, and at times it feels too big, too all-encompassing – almost impossible to define, let alone shift. That said, we all appreciate the value of culture as fundamentally how we treat each other and every person we do business with. To that end, it’s important that every person on the team understands and performs their role confidently.
People and Culture experts Rhonda Brighton-Hall and James Hancock discuss:
- What is culture and why it matters in architectural practice
- Identifying ‘the good and the bad’ elements in your culture
- The role leaders play in creating great culture
- Practical ways to drive cultural change in your practice
