The F4S culture map is a revolutionary approach to studying your team's work motivations, even across offices. It delivers a groundbreaking and insightful analysis of your team's unique culture.
For too long, the word 'company culture' has been thrown around with too much vagueness to be of any use to organizations trying to optimize team dynamics.
Rather than lean on buzzwords, F4S provides a statistical deep dive into each of your employee's and team's work styles and motivations. We provide you with a detailed analysis of what drives behavior within your business, even if you have offices around the globe.
Equipped with these insights, you can make data-driven decisions around hiring, leadership teams, workflows, and team building.
We'll also make expert recommendations on how to facilitate team bonding (even for globally distributed teams with seemingly different cultures) for a positive workplace culture. We also highlight areas that are holding your team back from hitting key business goals and which coaching programs can help.
Outcomes with F4S:
Gain a true understanding of what your workplace culture is —from individual teams, office to office, and organization-wide.
Learn the motivations that drive employee behavior so you can build upon or change them.
Predict and prevent conflict by addressing potential friction points ahead of time.
How culture mapping improves team performance
It all starts with the F4S work style assessment
Our unique assessment measures motivation levels across 48 distinct traits. Then we take those results and benchmark them against the local culture and your other offices.
How do your offices in Los Angeles and London stack up against their respective local working populations? And more importantly, how do they fare when compared to each other? With F4S, you’ll find out.
"F4S has become a central component of our people growth strategy at Canva and will empower us to harness our unique culture and optimise performance as we scale the team.”
Cliff Obrecht Co-founder & COO, Canva
Receive a detailed organizational culture map report
More than mere statistics, F4S contextualizes data for you.
For example, you might find that your London office yielded a 45% higher level of motivation for Details than your LA office, while your LA office has a higher affinity for Big Picture Thinking. We'll give suggestions on how to accommodate these differences for business success.
"F4S has been crucial for our Baraja teams, we have a debrief for all new team formations. It gives us direction for team compositions, hiring and conflict resolutions. There are so many “’AHA” moments."
Reshmi Buthello VP of People & Culture, Change Management expert at Baraja
Get strategic coaching to boost team performance
A gap in motivations might explain why your London team complains that LA moves too fast, while the LA team feels London is bogged down in details. But awareness can help each team to treasure their differences as part of a healthy culture.
When a problem needs to be looked at from every angle, London's got it. And when it’s time to move quickly, LA's the team for the job.
The best part? F4S coaching can help smooth conflict fast.
"I embarked on a coaching program to improve my leadership qualities and overcome obstacles that were holding me back.
What I got was a transformational experience that greatly improved my leadership skills and in addition, became a better parent and husband. It was an experience I will never forget."
Mark Rowland Founder StyleTread, Past CEO Wagamama
"F4S has helped me understand how I work and improved how I work with others (as I now understand key strengths.)
F4S is a central component of our people growth strategy at Canva and empowers us to harness our unique culture and optimise performance as we scale."

Why health coaching is important
You might be wondering 'Wait, but isn't health coaching just a pyramid scheme for weight loss programs?'. While it's true that some Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) programs are marketed as wellness coaching, there are many genuine coaches who impact peoples’ lives. Otherwise, there is no correlation between health coaching and MLMs.
Put simply, a health coach is someone who helps people make sustainable lifestyle choices. They guide, support, and encourage their clients to build a healthy lifestyle that works for them. Health coaches are also important allied health partners who can work with medical professionals to achieve better outcomes for their patients.
Research shows that health coaching can have important clinical improvements for a variety of chronic illness risk factors, such as blood pressure, fasting glucose, body weight, BMI and cardiorespiratory fitness². Plus, another study found that 85% of the risk of chronic disease is due to environmental factors³. By helping people carry out beneficial health behaviors, coaches could potentially save healthcare systems millions of dollars down the line.
Health coaching matters on an individual level, too. After all, health isn't just about the absence of diseases but rather, living to your full potential. Research shows that self-described healthy people are 20% happier on average⁴. Plus, they tend to have better career outcomes and earn more money⁵.
When you're healthy, you can show up as the best version of yourself in every part of your life – whether it's with your teammates in the office, or in your personal relationships and family.
