CultureWise
Turning Engagement & Wellbeing into Productivity & Growth
We help clients boost engagement and wellbeing, creating workplaces where people are more productive, stay longer and contribute to growth and profitability.
HOW DO WE DO THIS?
By sharing expert knowledge about engagement and wellbeing, running customised Engagement Surveys, Team Wellbeing & Productivity Surveys and Wellbeing & Productivity Programmes, turning real insights into meaningful action. We ensure your people are heard and supported.
​
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Sustainable performance doesn't happen by chance. It happens when your people are both:
WILLING - emotionally committed and engaged, and
ABLE - healthy, energised and equipped to perform
​
That’s when you unlock productivity, loyalty and growth, for the long term.
WELLBEING & PRODUCTIVITY
Strong organisations are built when people who can perform sustainably. Too often we only notice wellbeing when there’s already an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.
At CultureWise, we help people build the fence at the top - balancing work and life, staying energised, and creating workplaces where wellbeing and productivity thrive together.
Team Wellbeing & Productivity Survey (TWPS)
If engagement shows whether people are willing to give their best, the TWPS shows whether they are able to sustain it. The survey measures wellbeing and productivity outcomes and the drivers behind them, giving leaders a clear view of:
​
-
Energy levels – physical, mental, and emotional
-
Workload and pace – is it sustainable?
-
Work environment – tools, systems, and support
-
External pressures – factors like financial stress or caring responsibilities
Aligned with ISO 45003 and WorkSafe NZ guidance, the TWPS highlights risks and opportunities you can act on straight away. It turns insight into action, so your people stay healthy, energised and able to perform, which means your organisation can thrive.
​
Leaders’ Wellbeing & Productivity Programme
​
In these turbulent times, great leaders are required more than ever. They may just need more support than ever. Leaders carry responsibility, pressure, and constant demands, but often put their own wellbeing last. Over time, that takes a toll on focus, energy and performance.
​​
Our programme gives leaders space to pause, reflect, and reset. It begins with a detailed personal survey exploring goals, balance, energy, productivity, mindset, health, stress, sleep and more. Each leader receives a personalised report with clear recommendations and actionable insights.
​
Through follow-up workshops and support, leaders build awareness, set goals, and develop practical strategies to sustain their wellbeing and productivity - strengthening both their own resilience and their ability to support others.
People at all levels face unrelenting pressure, causing burnout and overload ...

BUILDING TEAM ENGAGEMENT
Engagement Surveys
​
If wellbeing shows whether people are able to perform, engagement shows whether they are willing to give their best. We need our people to be both willing and able.
​
Our customised Engagement Surveys ensure your team’s voices are truly heard. They identify the key drivers of engagement - the emotional connection and commitment that fuels productivity, loyalty and growth. They take less than 15 minutes to complete.
​
With an average response rate of 93%, you can be confident your results reflect reality. Our surveys provide:
-
In-depth analysis and theming of data, giving clear insights into what’s driving or holding back engagement
-
Practical themes and priorities for leaders to act on
-
Tailored reporting and presentation so results are easy to use
​
The outcome? Leaders know where to focus, people feel valued, and your organisation builds stronger, lasting engagement.
WHY IS ENGAGEMENT IMPORTANT?
REVENUE
Highly engaged teams care more, stay longer, and work harder, boosting productivity, customer service, brand loyalty and ultimately revenue.
GROWTH
​​
No growth strategy works unless people buy in.
An engaged workforce is crucial for business success, driving innovation, productivity, and survival.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
You can’t buy engagement—it’s earned through investment in people.
Engaged employees are motivated, connected, and proud advocates for your brand, setting you apart from competitors.
HEALTH
Employees spend a third of their lives at work.
Leaders directly impact others' wellbeing, at work and at home.
All of our surveys are independent and you and your team can rest assured their feedback will be completely anonymous. This ensures that we hear it like it really is, which is exactly what is needed to understand what action is appropriate.

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
We’re constantly working hard to deliver a great service to our customers. But enough from us. Here’s what some of our clients think about CultureWise...
SOPHIE GUNDESEN
Head of People & Culture, The Skin Institute
"We really enjoyed partnering with CultureWise for our last team engagement survey and look forward to doing so again.
Claire is great to work with and genuinely cares about our business. She is incredibly knowledgeable and really helped us to design a personalised survey to suit our needs.
Presentation of results back to our Exec team is always professional, well put together and clear.
The follow-up work interpreting data and the tools provided are very helpful and easy to use."
JO MASON
CEO - NZbrokers
"My team and I participated in the Wellbeing & Productivity Programme recently. It is good to get in a room, stop, and take stock of how you are progressing in your lifestyle habits and whether you are being your best self, or looking after yourself the best way you can.
From a professional perspective, it is important to me to have a team who are as productive as they can be. This is achieved through happy, healthy and engaged people enjoying what they do and feeling rewarded.
From a personal view, there isn't anything wrong with a few home truths delivered in a sensitive and confidential manner to make one sit up and re-evaluate! I know the team got as much out of it as I did, and I would recommend the investment in your teams. It pays for itself. Thanks Claire!"
HARLEY PROWSE
Director – GBS
"The (survey) analysis provided by Claire was excellent and gave us some positive insight as to how to further develop our vision.
As a result of the survey and Claire’s interpretation and analysis, GBS has embarked on a process … with staff to ensure they are, and want to be on board with our vision.
This will help our bottom line be affected in a positive manner, our staff are happier and more productive and we can attract the best staff … and keep our staff turnover as low as possible."
KERRY TOPP
Founder | Chief [Re]Generator
The Kerry Topp Collective
"As a sole business owner trying to be the best father and husband I can be and grow my business, it is a constant balancing act of being there for my family and customers whilst still looking after myself.
I engaged Claire because I was in danger of losing sight of what was important. I wanted to take stock, get clear on what I want and examine what I was doing that wasn't supporting me and what was.
​
I found the CultureWise Productivity & Wellbeing Survey and Claire's approach were awesome to help me get clarity on what I could do to ensure that I am not just productive, but that I am also well.
​
I thoroughly recommend Claire and her Productivity & Wellbeing Survey as a stocktake, a recalibration, a reset and the basis of a new way of living for any senior business leader seeking to be the best they can be.
SANDRA MU
Managing Director – JUMP
"Culture is a big part of what we do and how we deliver the JUMP experience. We noticed as the business started to grow more and more we felt that the connection with our team became increasingly difficult. This year it was at the top of our priority list to implement effective strategies to be able to reconnect with our now large team to help drive our business forward.
This is how I came across Claire at CultureWise.​
Claire is amazing, she has taken the effort to understand our company’s needs and has helped us to get back on track through using the staff engagement survey as a key tool. Claire is passionate about the key questions that help us to retrieve the relevant information required to pinpoint where our focus is needed to get the best possible result."
ROBERT CHOVEAUX
Board of Trustees member - St. Clair Primary School
"Our BOT decided to go with Claire at CultureWise for our school survey after a recommendation from another group I have used before in an alliance contract setting.
Claire's expert advice helped us to get the most out of our survey and her insight into human behaviour with surveys really helped us to streamline what key questions we were trying to get answered by our community.
Her communication, professionalism and timeliness with the delivery of the report made it a pleasure to work with her.
Highly recommend CultureWise for any other schools who are wanting quality data from their survey."

When people are heard, understood, and supported, they perform at their best and so do the businesses they work for.
​
I don’t just provide engagement surveys or wellbeing programmes; I work alongside leaders to help them make sense of what’s really going on in their teams. No fluff, no quick fixes - just clear insights and practical steps that lead to real change.

My passion is helping businesses build workplaces where people are not just engaged, but truly able to thrive.

​
I care deeply about getting the best possible results for my clients, and that’s reflected in everything I do. From the quality of our insights to the way we support businesses in taking action.
​
At the end of the day, this work is about creating great places to work, where people feel valued, energised, and inspired to do their best, which ultimately boosts performance. I love what I do and am lucky to have such an amazing team who are all equally passionate about great client service.
