Over 30 years of culture science. One simple system.
We’ve put culture under the microscope so you don’t have to. Here’s what we measure, how we measure it and how fast you get answers.
Gut feel isn’t a culture strategy
You demand benchmarks and KPIs everywhere else in your business. Culture deserves the same. Empowered answers the questions leaders keep asking:
Three principles that make culture measurable
Awareness
A culture of shared understanding. Do people know the mission, values, vision and purpose of your organisation?
Belonging
A culture of care and connection. Do people feel cared for, and do they care about what you stand for?
Commitment
A culture of walking the talk. Do leaders, teams and individuals behave in ways that support the culture you’re trying to create?
Six culture dimensions
A detailed view of where culture is working, where it is fragile and where to focus first.
Awareness
Do your people know your mission, values, vision and purpose?
Alignment
Do your people care about where your organisation is going?
Leadership
Do leaders demonstrate the culture they ask others to live?
Engagement
Do team members show awareness, belonging and commitment to one another?
Accountability
Do people understand and live the expectations of their role?
Valued
Do people feel your organisation genuinely cares about them?
Ask. Score. Focus.

The unvarnished truth, without exposing anyone
One of the key differentiators of Empowered is confidential, anonymous two-way communication. Employees say how they really feel while keeping their anonymity, and leaders can reply and follow up. That gives you the unvarnished truth, which makes it far easier to tackle real issues and create lasting change.
Built on proven culture science and real-world experience
Empowered brings together established culture science, practical tools and three decades of applied experience, drawn from 26,000+ culture assessments and over 2 million employee comments.
Informed by the work of Edgar Schein, Amy Edmondson, Daniel Denison, Karl Weick, Tony Simons, Simon Sinek, Kotter & Heskett, Meyer & Allen, Cameron & Quinn and Daniel Coyle.
