TCM’s Team Climate Healthcheck™ is a powerful diagnostic tool designed to evaluate the prevailing climate within any defined team environment – whether it be a project team, department, faculty, unit, division, or geographical region. By examining the lived experiences of team members, this approach provides a real-time, person-centred understanding of the relational, cultural, and operational dynamics that influence team performance, engagement and wellbeing.

Using a rich blend of qualitative and quantitative research methods, the Healthcheck gathers detailed data across a wide spectrum of workplace themes: from interpersonal relationships, trust and communication, to inclusion, collaboration, employee engagement, customer experience, wellbeing, behaviours, and approaches to performance and conflict resolution. It also assesses how the team navigates change and manages crises providing vital insights in today’s dynamic and complex organisational landscape. The resulting report offers a nuanced and evidence-based evaluation of the team climate, accompanied by targeted recommendations and a practical action plan. This plan supports the development of a psychologically safe, high-performing team environment – one in which your people can thrive, and your organisation can flourish.

The benefits of this approach are far-reaching.

1. Firstly, it surfaces the often-unspoken issues that may be quietly undermining team cohesion and effectiveness, offering a constructive path to address them.
2. Secondly, it builds trust by demonstrating a genuine commitment to listening to employees and taking meaningful action.
3. Thirdly, it empowers leaders and team members alike with clear insights and shared language for understanding team dynamics.
4. Fourthly, it enhances decision-making by rooting interventions in real-world data rather than assumption.
5. Finally, it creates a roadmap for continuous improvement, enabling teams not only to resolve existing issues but to build the resilience and capabilities needed to excel long-term.

Organisations across sectors are increasingly confronted with serious and complex concerns relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), as well as broader employee relations issues. Allegations of bullying, incivility, abuse, harassment, and discrimination (BIAHD), alongside complaints of unfavourable treatment linked to protected characteristics, can severely undermine morale, damage organisational reputation, and erode trust in leadership and HR functions.

At TCM, we offer a rigorous and compassionate audit process led by our expert team of DEI and employee relations specialists. Our approach uncovers underlying causes, evaluates the lived experiences of employees, and identifies both overt and systemic barriers to inclusion and fairness within your workplace. These audits provide practical, evidence-based recommendations to foster a culture of dignity, equity, and respect. Drawing on the very latest thinking in organisational justice and inclusive leadership, our team delivers a roadmap to support sustainable transformation—not only to address immediate concerns, but to embed fairness and belonging at the heart of your organisation.

Two key benefits emerge from this work. First, the audit helps to identify hidden cultural and structural issues before they escalate into formal disputes or reputational crises. By confronting these challenges head-on, your organisation demonstrates accountability and a willingness to learn. Second, we support you in transitioning from isolated or reactive DEI initiatives toward a cohesive, integrated wellbeing, engagement, and inclusion (WEI) strategy – ensuring that inclusion becomes a lived reality, not just a stated ambition.

Through this process, we help create workplaces where all people feel safe, respected, and empowered to thrive.

TCM’s Expert Neutral Evaluations offer a fair, objective, and expertly delivered process for managing complex and sensitive workplace issues, including grievances, allegations of bullying, misconduct, and whistleblowing. Conducted by TCM’s team of employee relations specialists, HR experts, and legal professionals – including barristers and King’s Counsel where necessary – these evaluations focus on uncovering the true source of workplace concerns with precision and discretion.

Rather than taking a purely procedural or punitive approach, our Expert Neutral Evaluations involve a thorough, evidence-based examination of the issues at hand. The outcome is a clear, impartial report that not only identifies the root causes of the grievance or allegation but also provides actionable recommendations to help resolve the situation effectively and equitably.

This approach brings two distinct and powerful benefits. First, it protects the integrity of working relationships by removing bias and emotion from the process, thereby preventing escalation and mitigating the risk of long-term conflict. Second, it provides organisations with independent, expert-led analysis, ensuring credibility and reassurance for all parties involved while reducing pressure on internal teams. By outsourcing the root cause analysis to experienced neutral evaluators, organisations demonstrate a commitment to fairness, transparency, and early resolution – safeguarding trust, morale, and legal compliance in even the most difficult situations.
