Fun-Washing, False Promises & Fixing the Culture System with Paula Brockwell

What if the real reason your culture initiatives aren’t working… is because you’re treating symptoms, not systems?

In this episode of Tap Into Something Better, we sit down with Paula Brockwell — chartered occupational psychologist, culture strategist, and founder of The Employee Experience Project. Paula’s on a mission to dismantle the “fun-washing” culture trend and replace it with something bolder: real, scalable, measurable culture change that starts with capability and ends with accountability.

We talk about:

• Why “perks” don’t fix broken systems

• Who actually owns culture change (spoiler: it’s not just HR)

• How to build alignment without chasing perfection

• The role of curiosity in healing fractured teams

If you’re tired of meaningless engagement surveys, one-off workshops, or vibes-based culture strategies… this one’s for you.
