Culture & Behavior
Culture defines your organization. It is what binds people to you, keeps them involved and provides security.
Culture arises naturally, but sometimes it can be good to get a better understanding and grip on it. A culture that everyone is proud of leads to inspired employees and therefore to better business results. By making the implicit [of an organization’s culture] explicit, you clarify as an organization who you are and what you find important. We help you articulate your values and implement them in all processes in the organization. This ensures that the culture is not just tiles on the wall, but is truly lived by the people in your organization.
Organization core values
The core values act as an ethical compass and form the “core” of the organizational culture. With only a compass you are not there yet, the interpretation and translation of these values into concrete behavior are extremely important.
We help you (re)define and/or load the core values of your organization, so that afterwards the translation of these values into concrete behavior can be made. We then guide you in integrating these values and behaviors into organizational rituals so that the culture remains alive. We do this together with your organization in several work sessions.
Collaboration & Trust
We help organizations with questions such as “how to create a safe work environment” and “what is the effect of power.
A safe work environment. A term we hear more and more these days and which is seen as increasingly important by organizations. But what is actually meant by a “safe” work environment? And what can you as an HR professional, management team or executive do with this? What does it give you?
We help organizations create a socially and psychologically safe work environment. Together with you, we determine the steps you need to take not only to get your processes and protocols in order, but also to get a clear picture of the underlying culture. And to use precisely that culture as the basis for implementing change.

Our approach
Rvdb will gladly help your organization define its vision of being an employer. A vision that matches your mission, vision and core values. The vision of employership serves as a framework for all HR instruments, processes and policies within your organisation.
Analyzing the current situation
During the analysis we get to know the organization and collect the necessary input. Naturally, we include steps already taken and analyses done, so that this can be done concisely.
- Desk research current strategy and objectives
- Interviews with or survey of employees
Defining a vision of being an employer
During an interactive session with the MT, we define the HR vision and answer the question, What kind of employer do you want to be?
We discuss different visions of being an employer to determine which one best suits your organization. We also set priorities within the HR themes based on the chosen vision.
Design of HR tools and policies
Based on a clear vision and prioritization, HR tools and policies can be developed:
- Working sessions to explore specific themes
- Designing the solution
- Review with the project group
- Elaboration of final design
- Determine steps toward implementation.
Implementation of HR tools and policies
We can help implement (parts of) the advice and design. Think of a communication plan, training the organization on cultural values, providing feedback or coaching leadership.
