Understanding Workplace Culture

Programme Overview

The module is delivered through one interactive morning session delivered by our instructor via a Zoom webinar.

Understanding Workplace Culture has been developed by Skills for Care to support managers and aspiring managers in adult social care. A positive workplace culture creates the foundation for high quality care. When managers understand how culture is formed and how to influence it, they are better placed to lead teams that feel confident, motivated and aligned with organisational values.

This programme introduces core concepts of culture and explores the links between culture, values and vision. It provides practical guidance on how to assess culture, identify areas for development and take purposeful action. Managers will also explore how small actions, known as nudges, can shape behaviours and promote positive change.

Understanding Workplace Culture is suitable for anyone working in Health and Social Care who holds a management role or wishes to progress into one. This includes team leaders, supervisors, deputy managers, care home managers and others who want to improve their ability to influence team culture.

Cost: £112.50 + VAT

Funding: Adult social care employers in England can claim funding through the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Learning and Development Support Scheme (LDSS).
