One mission. Three ways.
Each platform is a distinct offer. Together they form the ecosystem: diagnose, build, certify. Culture moves from a claim to your competitive advantage.
EQthentic — a culture diagnostic that digs deeper.
Six measurable principles and the tensions that sit within them. Four sub scores that tell leaders where to take action and make an impact.
Keynotes & Workshops — the methodology, practically delivered.
Our keynote presentations and workshops feature a curated network of facilitators trained on our methodology, delivered to your bespoke needs.
Kind Certified — recognition you can't self-award.
An independently assessed certification for organisations that don't just say their people are important. They prove it.
Six ways we turn culture into a competitive advantage.
Diagnose, build, certify. Our approach starts with measurement, ends with proof and stays human throughout.
- Culture Intelligence. A precise read on six measurable tensions. Not a sentiment score. Cultural Alignment, Business Momentum, Psychological Safety, and Happiness and Wellbeing in one platform.
- Kind Certification. Independent recognition for organisations that have implemented a measurable culture system and action plan. Our independent council assesses and awards applicants.
- Keynotes. High-impact human stories and lived experience. Our curated expert network of facilitators and keynote speakers are trained on our methodology, ensuring inspiration, engagement and consistency for your people.
- Workshops. Facilitated workshops and learning sessions for groups of all sizes, based on our Cultural Framework, bringing practical evidence-backed meaning and context to your workplace.
- Leadership Development. Practical development for leaders who need to build trust, clarity, momentum and psychological safety. From group training to individual coaching sessions.
- Consulting & Advisory. Culture action plans, advisory support and partnerships. Ad-hoc support, stay and exit interviews, and change management support that creates measurable impact.
The Cultural Framework — every workplace needs to balance tension.
The Kind Group's Cultural Framework names the gap most leaders feel but can't articulate, then provides a way to manage it. Great workplaces are defined through our six evidence-backed principles. Each presents two positive tensions showing a spectrum of behaviour that defines where your culture sits and where to focus effort to achieve balance.
- Constructive Communication
- Empowered Performance
- Sustainable Outcomes
- Authenticity & Belonging
- Fun & Fulfilment
- Creativity
EQthentic — from gut feel to culture intelligence.
EQthentic™ reads what your engagement survey can't. Six principles, where your people sit on each of the tensions, and whether there is balance or friction. Then four critical sub-scores that tell you what's happening in your organisation and what to do next: Cultural Alignment, Business Momentum, Psychological Safety, and Happiness and Wellbeing.
Kind Certified — the people benchmark.
Kind Certified is the standard for culture. Built and assessed by a completely independent council, it gives kind companies the recognition they've earned, and signals it to the people they want to attract, keep and serve. Learn more at www.kindcertified.co.
Keynotes — a variety of lived experiences, one consistent methodology.
A curated expert network in the room. Every keynote and workshop is grounded in our evidence-backed cultural framework, ensuring a fresh perspective within a consistent learning methodology for your people.
