People Strategy & Culture Consulting

Build a workplace that is modern and human.

We partner with organizations to design HR systems and cultures that are modern, human, and aligned with business goals, using what the research says actually keeps people engaged and staying.

Strategy grounded in what workers actually told us.

Every people strategy claims to be evidence-based. Ours starts from surveys of 6,000+ workers and 50,000+ frontline employees, so when we tell you what drives someone to stay or walk, it's because they told us.

Employee experience

We audit the experience moment by moment, from the first recruiter email to the exit conversation, and map where it breaks for which populations. Then we prioritize the fixes by their effect on retention and engagement, not by how easy they are to announce.

Culture

Culture is what your managers do on a Tuesday. A Lighthouse culture playbook turns your values into behaviors, decision rules, rituals, and manager habits, with the accountability mechanisms that keep it alive after the launch. George Rogers' work on belonging and purpose, and the Champion Your Purpose framework behind Lighthouse Academy, runs through this practice.

Workforce planning

We help you model the skills and capacity the business plan actually requires, build scenarios, and decide where to build, buy, borrow, or automate, connecting the plan to the learning and hiring engines that have to deliver it.

Change management

Toolkits, not theory: the messages, manager guides, training, and adoption measures for a change your organization has to absorb, whether that's a new HCM platform, a performance redesign, or a return-to-office decision.

Common questions

People Strategy & Culture Consulting FAQ

What is an employee experience audit?

A structured review of the moments that matter across the employee lifecycle, from candidate to alumni, combining your engagement and HR data with Lighthouse benchmarks and worker research to show where the experience breaks and which fixes move retention.

How is a culture playbook different from a values poster?

A playbook translates values into observable behaviors, decisions, rituals, and manager routines, with the accountability built in. It's a working document leaders use, not a wall decoration.

Do you work with frontline and hourly workforces?

Yes, it's a specialty. Our Frontline Engagement Gap study surveyed 50,000+ workers on who stays and who walks, and we bring those findings directly into retention and engagement strategy for employers of frontline talent.

Can you help us land a large change, like a new HR system?

Yes. Change management toolkits give managers the communications, training, and adoption tools for a technology rollout, a reorganization, or a new performance approach, sequenced on a roadmap we build with you.
