Beyond the Good Work Index: the steps to systemically solve your challenges

The CIPD Branch in Birmingham and The CIPD Branch in Mid & North Wales are collaborating for the first time!

The Branch Chairs will be joined by John Crossan, COO of Culture Impact, to delve into the CIPD’s Good Work Index 2025.

The CIPD Good Work Index has identified several common internal trends within businesses, including that ¼ of respondents state their work harms their mental health. While these statistics that arise from surveys can be alarming, they’re also an indicator of a deeper cultural problem at large within your business that you must fix to truly solve ongoing headaches, such as low retention, lack of productivity, and low innovation etc.

In this webinar, in partnership with Culture Impact, we challenge you to stop firefighting workplace issues and look deeper into solving what’s causing them to arise in the first place.

This 1-hour session will offer a roadmap to help you look into the hidden dynamics and behaviours at play within your company and embed new behaviours and systems that will prevent further symptoms from arising, while building a culture that is fit for purpose for delivering your strategy.

You’ll come away with:

• An understanding of how your organisation may be unknowingly encouraging, discouraging, or tolerating behaviours that are shaping your employees’ job quality.
• Learn how you can identify the mindsets that drive those behaviours – and that can underpin more positive alternatives.
• How you can maximise your ability to respond to your insights and learnings and make informed decisions that will drive improvements within your organisation.
• Examples of how other businesses have moved beyond reacting to symptoms, to responding to causes - and built cultures where good work thrives.
• A framework for mapping the specific GWI factors that you’re experiencing and how to shift to cultural strengths.
• Practical steps to create a roadmap that drives organisational change & improves job quality.

There will be some time to ask questions at the end of the event, so do bring your most thought-provoking, mind-bending workplace problems to share in confidence.

You should attend if you are tired of constantly tackling employment challenges and are ready to embed culture as a strategic advantage.

Good work isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about designing a culture where it doesn’t break in the first place. Only then can long lasting change be sustained.

Join us to make good work systemic.
