Employees who feel valued by their peers and superiors are more likely to remain satisfied in their role and loyal to their company. We coach on setting effective boundaries, dispensing honest and caring feedback, building emotional connection, and the confidence to hold difficult conversations with different stakeholders.
We also help employees feel heard with our employee listening platform, powered by Rungway. Employees feel safer in the workplace sharing their questions and concerns, and like their opinions and experiences are valid.

We provide support for employees to take ownership of their own development. This approach encourages people to develop independently, promotes better collaboration, and helps create a culture of continuous growth.

Starting a new job is rarely a case of plain sailing, particularly in a hybrid working world. We coach people on adapting to different communication styles, building meaningful working relationships with colleagues and line managers, and knowing when to ask for support.
Our holistic coaching model encourages people to examine their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. By understanding the dynamics of these relationships better, we can identify areas that need attention and work on developing authentic, supportive communication styles.
An all together more pleasant working environment not only improves morale, loyalty, and outcomes, it does wonders for employer brand and talent acquisition too. Companies with a supportive culture and access to coaching are an attractive prospect for potential talent.
Workplace culture is the collective expression of relationships, values, and behaviors across the organization. It’s guided by the company’s purpose—the “why”—and shaped by how people interact, communicate, and embody that purpose. Culture is built from the ground up, aligning purpose, values, and behaviors, and influenced by everyone within the company. It’s about how people show up, how they relate to one another, and how the organization functions day-to-day, creating an environment where individuals can align, contribute, and thrive together.
At Sanctus, we define culture as the emotional and psychological environment that shapes how teams collaborate and connect. A healthy culture fosters trust, growth, and well-being, while a toxic one can lead to disengagement and high turnover.
There’s no such thing as a singular “ideal” workplace culture. Culture simply reflects the unspoken agreements, behaviors, and values shared within an organization. At Sanctus, we believe some cultures are more conducive to human flourishing—those that prioritize empathy, trust, well-being, and alignment between purpose and day-to-day actions.
To cultivate this, transparency about values is key, along with leadership that embodies those values. Through group coaching, workshops, and programs like our Connected Leadership, organizations can create environments where people truly thrive. Misalignment or hidden toxic values, however, can erode trust and well-being.
A toxic workplace culture is one where hidden, unspoken values—like greed or exploitation—undermine well-being and trust. It’s often driven by misalignment between the company’s stated purpose and its actual behaviors, creating a disconnect that erodes psychological safety and engagement.
Toxic cultures may manifest in poor communication, lack of empathy, or environments where power is abused. At Sanctus, we believe that cultures focused on trust, empathy, and clear alignment between values and actions foster healthier environments where people can thrive, rather than break down.
A toxic workplace culture is one where negativity, fear, and disengagement thrive. It often manifests through poor communication, lack of trust, and leadership that prioritizes results over well-being. Toxic cultures erode morale, increase turnover, and hinder performance. At Sanctus, we help companies address these issues by fostering environments that emphasize psychological safety, empathy, and authentic leadership.
Fixing a broken culture starts with an assessment—not just of what’s broken, but why it broke in the first place. Culture is an intricate web of relationships, values, and daily behaviors. At Sanctus, our OD consultants dig deep to identify gaps, whether it’s a lack of psychological safety or poor communication. From there, we focus on building trust, empathy, and authentic communication. Through tailored solutions like 1:1 coaching and group workshops, we help shift the culture strategically—without needing a complete overhaul. It’s about smart, focused interventions that drive real impact.
Workplace culture is co-created by everyone—from senior leadership to junior employees. It’s shaped by relationships, behaviors, and aligned with the company’s purpose.
The foundation of any culture starts with the big “why”—why does the company exist? This provides direction.
Then comes the “how”—how do we want to relate to each other, ourselves, and our work?
Finally, the “what”—the specific behaviors, policies, and actions that align with the purpose. Rebuilding culture requires revisiting these questions as a collective, and formulating specific policies, processes, behaviours and ways of working to express these values together.
