Human Capital & Culture Assessments

Why does fostering a culture of belonging matter?

 

In today’s dynamic environment, organizations face a range of challenges that can undermine their mission. From reputational risks and employee litigation to retention struggles and lapses in corporate citizenship, these issues demand more than surface-level solutions.

 

Many organizations invest billions in the health and wellbeing of tangible assets — machinery, infrastructure, and technology — yet often neglect their most valuable resource: people. At Breakfast Culture, we believe that success begins with unlocking the full potential of your human capital.

 

Breakfast Culture’s 5-Step Human Capital Assessment provides a comprehensive measurement framework and actionable insights to identify where your organization stands and how to move forward on the Inclusion Continuum, ultimately positioning your company as the employer and supplier of choice.

We Help Organizations Benchmark & Measure Their Human Capital & Culture Initiatives or KPIs 

 

One of the most common questions we receive from clients is how to measure the success of their human capital and culture initiatives. Whether they have existing in-house strategies or are collaborating with other consultants for training and coaching, Breakfast Culture provides a streamlined version of our proven five-step process.

 

In this truncated approach, we focus on the first two steps, delivering clients both qualitative insights and quantitative data about their workplace culture. As an objective third party, we bring fresh perspectives, ensuring unbiased analysis. Additionally, our process guarantees employee anonymity, fostering higher levels of honesty and participation in the feedback process.

 

By leveraging our expertise, organizations gain a clear and accurate understanding of their culture, empowering them to make informed decisions and drive meaningful improvements.

Beyond Metrics: Unlocking Human Potential

 

At Breakfast Culture, we guide organizations beyond compliance and standard business cases toward true human equity — where individual differences are celebrated, and full human potential is unlocked. Our approach leverages proprietary Employee Engagement Software, powered by Prompta AI®, to provide unparalleled insights into organizational inclusion through Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Sentiment Analysis, Topic Modelling, and Natural Language Processing. This technology is complemented by a standardized industry metric — the Global Diversity Equity Inclusion Benchmarks (GDEIB) Model, utilized with permission from The Centre for Global Inclusion.

​

The GDEIB is the first human capital industry standard and was written by 112 Expert Panellists, to help organizations determine strategy and measure progress in managing diversity, fostering inclusion, advocating for equity, all with the goal of unlocking human potential. We are working on incorporating another industry metric: ISO 30415.

​

By focusing on “better people listening,” Breakfast Culture ensures that your organization doesn’t just measure inclusion but actively cultivates it—delivering lasting impact for your employees, stakeholders, and bottom line.

“We chose Breakfast Culture and Jefferson Darrell’s team because they bring an inherent understanding of the marketing communications agency world, combined with both theoretical and practical diversity, equity and inclusion experience. As an award-winning marketing agency, we have built a strong foundation but have a continued commitment to developing an inclusive culture by learning about any potential ‘blind spots’ that may hinder our already positive corporate culture. After getting to know one another, it became clear Breakfast Culture was the right partner for us as we embark on this journey.”
