assembly: /əˈsɛmbli/ the action of gathering together as a group for a common purpose.
Welcome to
Assembly Culture
Where emotions run high, on purpose.
The Assembly Culture journey connects the dots between emotion and behaviour, leaving your team feeling empowered about their place in the organisation, more empathetic towards their team, and energised to make better decisions and perform at their best.
And this is what Assembly Culture is all about: fostering a workplace culture that’s different. One that’s steeped in emotion and feelings, and driving behaviour change at the roots.
What is
Emotional Culture?
When it comes to culture, we often think about words like values, behaviours and norms – the framework that tells us how to behave in the workplace. Known as cognitive culture, these are the hard influencers that drive ‘how we do things’, and how we should act within the organisational guardrails.
Culture is not only about how people meet, make decisions and collaborate; it’s about what drives the behaviours to make decisions. And most companies are great at telling us how to behave and what to do…. Role model the values, make good decisions, show leadership in your work, and demonstrate good judgement.
The missing link is the affective components – the influences that impact how people feel in the workplace. Because behind these cognitive instructions is something much more complex: an individual’s emotions.

At Assembly Culture, we're the best in the
Emotional Culture business.

"How we feel and how we interpret others' feelings drives the quality of our relationships. Emotions, at the core, are signals to approach or avoid"

DOES YOUR EMOTIONAL CULTURE
need some work?
Not only is Emotional Culture important for the health of your people – your employees, your team; but for the health, performance and success of your organisation itself.
When the emotions our people experience at work are more pleasant, their behaviours will be reflective of a positive response. When we give people permission to bring emotions to the workplace, we give them the power to express themselves as they are, not as we think they should be.
Here at Assembly Culture, we are the leaders in Emotional Culture, inspiring constructive and productive conversations around feelings, giving your team out-of-the-box insights to better connect, and allowing you to think differently about the impact your culture can have on the company and its individuals.
