What is the Emotional Culture Deck?

The Emotional Culture Deck (ECD) is a powerful tool designed to foster open conversations about emotions in the workplace. It's a deck of cards with various prompts and questions that stimulate discussions about culture, leadership, and individual experiences.  

Key features and benefits of the ECD:

• Focus on emotions: Unlike traditional workplace tools that primarily focus on tasks and goals, the ECD emphasises the importance of emotions in shaping organisational culture.  
• Facilitates open dialogue: The cards provide a structured way to initiate conversations about feelings, experiences, and values, promoting a more open and honest work environment.  
• Builds empathy and connection: By encouraging participants to share their personal perspectives, the ECD helps build empathy and understanding among team members.  
• Improves workplace culture: A positive emotional culture can lead to increased employee satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. The ECD can help organisations create such a culture.  

The ECD is particularly useful for:

• Leaders: It can help leaders better understand their team members' needs and motivations and create a more supportive and engaging work environment.  
• HR professionals: It can be used to assess and improve organisational culture, and to develop training programs for employees.  
• Coaches and consultants: It can be a valuable tool for facilitating workshops and team-building activities.
