Culture First: Creating Workplaces Where People Thrive

Culture shapes everything: how we work, lead, and thrive. But when misalignment creeps in, it stifles engagement, trust, and performance. That’s where I come in.

I’ve spent my career in corporate organisations, rising to Director of HR, witnessing firsthand the impact of culture on business success. Now, I’ve dedicated my career to helping organisations break free from unproductive patterns and build workplaces where people and businesses flourish.

As the author of Shadow Cultures and founder of HR Fusion, I know that real change starts with understanding the unseen forces shaping your workplace. If you're ready to create an authentic, inclusive, and high-performing culture, one that truly supports both employees and business success, you’re in the right place.

more on how we can help

In Shadow Cultures, author Rachel Bennett exposes a hidden yet powerful force shaping workplaces: the shadow culture. Drawing from personal experience, she reveals how these unspoken norms undermine success and why organisations must confront them.

At the heart of the book is Rachel’s Six-Step Cultural Change Programme, a practical roadmap for leaders and HR professionals to create dynamic, high-performing cultures. This framework helps organisations:


  • Navigate cultural change in an evolving workplace.
  • Identify and address hidden challenges.
  • Engage employees in meaningful transformation.
  • Foster inclusivity and collaboration.


Part One explores workplace culture’s foundations, its impact, and the silent forces shaping it, supported by real-world case studies. Part Two offers a step-by-step guide to enacting change, introducing “Shadow Hunters” and actionable strategies.

With a compelling narrative and practical tools, Shadow Cultures is an essential resource for anyone committed to reshaping workplace culture and driving lasting transformation.



Let’s Talk Culture, the podcast that brings powerful insights, practical advice, and thought-provoking conversations to help you transform your organisation.

Hosted by Rachel Bennett, this inspiring series is packed with actionable strategies and fresh perspectives to make workplace culture your superpower. Whether you're a leader, manager, or culture enthusiast, this will be your go-to resource for creating impactful change.
