Culture Kit
Your guide to fostering team culture with your
Built Environment Channel screen
Built Environment Channel is a passive tool designed to improve your internal communications. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, updating company policies, or something else entirely, your Built Environment Channel screen will direct your team to your chosen intranet or HR platform.
Our members have embraced their Built Environment Channel screens and the way they communicate and engage with their staff. We’ve developed a range of customisable templates based on feedback from our members and the innovative way they use their BEC screens.
Use one or all, or get creative with your own designs!
The Culture Kit includes a range of guides and templates on a range of areas:
Celebrating team culture
Community Outreach
Inclusive workplaces
Business practices
Human resources
– Heidi Smith, Lead Partner (VIC), Gray Puksand
“We were drawn to the inspiration and innovative design-led content on Built Environment Channel, along with the functionality to showcase our cultural experiences and celebrate our work across our studios and celebrate our people and culture.”
