The Culture Change Lab is an innovation process designed by Pregnant Then Screwed. It is a 12 month process to create workplaces that are the best they can be for working parents.
Culture Change Lab takes your organisation through a 7-stage approach.
Every company is different. So that we can acquire a better understanding of the specific challenges experienced by your parent employees, we will conduct research calls with a number of employees to better understand the specific challenges encountered, the internal mechanisms currently utilised to support parent employees, and to build engagement
Pregnant Then Screwed will engage your senior leadership team in a presentation about the challenges working parents experience due to antiquated legislation, workplaces designed for unencumbered workers, and a pandemic that has had a disproportionate impact on the income and wellbeing of mothers. It will explore the business benefits of making your workplace the best it can be for working parents
The ideation phase is an opportunity to develop ideas, confidence and knowledge amongst the team at all levels of the organisation. Our workshops are action orientated and playful, combining storytelling with interactive problem solving and individual reflection. To be truly impactful the ideation phase needs to include junior members of the organisation, line managers and parent employees
The iterate phase solidifies learning
gleaned during the ideation phase and offers an opportunity to change anything that isn’t working. We propose small clinics with line managers to strengthen learning and to assess any specific challenges encountered during implementation. This will ensure smooth application of the ideation phase by line managers and it will act as an assessment tool where 360 feedback can be offered and processes tweaked accordingly.
One to one clinics for line managers throughout the year increase engagement and allow managers to innovate. We consult on issues and ideas including: returner activities, re-induction plans, and KIT day content. Smaller clinics will also be offered to parent employees who are transitioning back into the workplace from maternity / adoption / shared parental / surrogacy leave. We look at how (and why) we define our own version of success, boundaries, managing expectations, working in a virtual world, challenging and managing the stereotypes we might fall into and how to plan for the conversations you need to have at home and at work.
Accountability sessions will be held with staff across your organisation. Sessions will include:
Listening sessions with parents to share their thoughts on what has improved and what they feel needs further consideration and adaption. These timely insights will encourage iteration, and improve overall development. Pregnant Then Screwed will document these learnings and will share them with Stage 6: Evaluate senior leadership team, though staff names will be redacted.
A session with the senior leadership team to review progress and where 360 feedback can be offered
Pregnant Then Screwed will work with you to promote the incredible work you are doing to make your workplace the best it can be for working parents. This will include:
Working collaboratively on a press release about the pioneering process you have undertaken and the impact this has had on your team.
Using your company as a future case study for positive action when we talk to the media or at other events
