Culture: The foundation of organisational success
Your company is only as resilient and healthy as
its culture.
All successful organisations have one thing in
common: a culture characterised by innovation
and performance, made possible by engaged
employees who thrive in a positive work
environment.
Why many culture transformation efforts fail
Many organisations fail in their culture change efforts because they inadvertently focus on changing organisational climate, which is only an aspect of culture. Changes in climate can bring some quick results, but these are inevitably short-lived unless there is also a shift in culture.
Human Synergistics culture assessments
Since 1971, Human Synergistics culture assessments have helped thousands of organisations measure and
develop winning organisational cultures and leadership strategies. At MARG, we know how elusive the culture
success formula can be. As accredited Human Synergistics culture experts, we work with you to transform
culture into a catalyst for organisational success.
How the assessments work
As culture experts, we know that to move from your
current culture to your ideal culture, understanding the
underlying culture factors that shape employee
behaviour is vital.
Our culture reports use the world-renowned Human
Synergistics Circumplex, which breaks down and visually
represents culture factors in 3 behaviour categories (12
behavioural styles).

- The Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI®)
- Leadership Impact (L/I)
- Customer Service Styles (CSS)
The OCI is the most thoroughly researched organisational culture assessment, used by thousands of companies
the world over. It uncovers how your employees collectively believe they are expected to behave and how those
behaviours influence employee effectiveness and engagement.
By choosing to take an OCI assessment, you can gain
- A deep understanding of how your employees currently believe they are expected to approach their work and interact with one another,
- Valuable insights into how your existing culture either supports or interferes with achieving goals at the Start a Conversation individual, team, and organisational levels, and
- Support to build a vision of your ideal culture by determining which behaviours will enable your employees and organisation to execute strategic initiatives and achieve goals.
Leadership Impact (L/I)
Leadership/Impact is a 360-degree assessment that provides
leaders with key insights into their leadership strategies, the
impact of those strategies on the behaviour and performance of
others, and the culture they create as a result. By giving leaders
pertinent feedback on their personal and organisational
effectiveness, L/I helps them identify strategies and techniques
to motivate their teams towards sustained effectiveness,
performance, and productivity.
The benefits of the L/I assessment
L/I is an invaluable tool for
- Enhancing leadership development
- Promoting a constructive organisational culture
- Coaching leaders and managers
- Boosting organisational effectiveness
- Evaluating leadership development efforts
How the assessments work
Leadership/Impact assesses leader effectiveness by asking up to 12 of the leader’s peers, managers, and/or
subordinates (selected by the leader) to share feedback on the leader’s strategies, impact on others, and overall
effectiveness.
Our leadership experts work with you to administer the assessments, analyse the results, and build a custom
leadership development programme for your organisation.
Customer Service Styles (CSS)
Great customer service can be the key to strengthening your organisation’s profitability, sustainability, and
credibility. The CSS assessment offers invaluable insights into how your team treats customers and how this
behaviour in turn affects customer experience, attitudes, and future buying intentions.
What the assessment measures
The CSS asks your internal and external customers questions on:
- Your team’s approach to their work and their customer interactions,
- Customer satisfaction (including whether their expectations have been met),
- Customer loyalty (including whether they intend to use your products or services again), and
- Customer advocacy (including whether they’d recommend your company to others).
We process the assessment data electronically and give you a full report with the results and
recommendations. Our customer service experts analyse the assessment results and help you build a strategy
to boost the quality of service delivered by your agents and others who deal directly with your customers.

The success of any organisation lies in the hands of its employees. When employee mental health is compromised, performance, decision-making abilities, and ability to focus may be severely impacted.
Organisational mental health programmes strive to create a work environment, support systems, and company culture that prevent, alleviate, and support work-related mental health issues among employees.
Comprehensive mental wellness programmes for organisations are relatively new. Many organisations limit their wellness efforts to counselling, generally offered through an employee assistance programme. MARG’s Wellness Programmes aim to support and boost employee mental health through a range of services and solutions, including wellness consulting, training and education, counselling, and support creating wellness-friendly employee policies and benefits. Our programmes are customised for each organisation, depending on their wellness maturity and specific needs.
You can elevate employee mental health in various ways.
Build a safe and supportive culture: This lessens the stigma associated with mental health issues and makes employees feel comfortable discussing their struggles.
Offer relevant benefits: Help employees cope better with mental health issues through mental-health-focused initiatives like counselling, mental health resources, and support groups.
Provide flexibility: Introduce flexible work hours and full or partial remote work for happier, more productive employees. Through detailed assessments and on-going consulting, MARG Wellness creates custom wellness programmes that help you build a healthy workforce.

Mental-health focused education and training creates awareness, helps build a safe and supportive work culture, aids in managing stress and achieving a good work-life balance, and supports those with mental health concerns in the workplace. These training and education programmes also equip managers to recognise and support employees who are struggling.
Training creates awareness on mental health issues, breaks taboos, and fosters empathy in the workplace. Workshops and programmes on mental wellness and trauma also help leaders and managers recognise and address signs of poor mental health among employees.
Comprehensive programmes like MARG Wellness offer tailored initiatives to help promote
wellbeing—and, by extension, effectiveness—among employees. Such programmes may
offer wellness-focused consulting, counselling, education and training, and assistance in
setting up wellness-centred employee policies and benefits. By setting up a wellness
programme to manage your employees’ mental health, you’ll be able to truly understand and
anticipate their needs, create awareness, and build a culture that nurtures mental wellness.
This creates happy, loyal employees who bring their best to work each day, yielding high
returns in productivity and performance.
