Social Value Starts with Culture: Why This 2-Hour Training Hits at the Right Time

May 02, 2025Posted by: Sarah

A wave of change is reshaping the UK workplace. By October 2025, new employment legislation will raise expectations around flexibility, fairness, and inclusion. At the same time, updated procurement frameworks demand that Social Value isn’t just promised - it’s delivered and measurable.

For organisations already engaged in Social Value, this isn’t just a compliance challenge. It’s a pivotal opportunity to deepen the culture they’ve been building - one that puts people center stage, strengthens strategy, and creates real community impact.

The good news is that PeoplePlus' strategic partner ANTZ has launched a 2-hour Social Value training experience:
A practical, high-impact session designed to get whole teams aligned on what social value really means, and why it matters in every role and department.

Why This 2-Hour Session Matters

This training isn’t just for specialists or senior leaders - it’s designed to start the conversation across entire organisations.

It was developed to:

• Build a shared understanding across diverse teams

• Bridge operational realities with strategic ambition

• Enable wide participation, particularly in larger or decentralised businesses

At just £35 +VAT per person, it’s a cost-effective and accessible way to embed Social Value awareness from the ground up.

What Teams Take Away

Participants leave with:

• A clear, simple understanding of Social Value in a business context

• A mindset shift around fairness, opportunity, and responsibility

• Confidence to discuss barriers and equity in real terms

• Practical examples of inclusive decision-making, job design, and line management

“Embedding Social Value isn’t about writing policies — it’s about shaping culture through everyday actions.”

This training isn’t abstract or overly policy-heavy. It’s grounded in everyday practice - helping individuals connect the dots between their own roles and wider business impact.

Supporting Culture and Compliance

While this session isn’t a legal briefing, it actively supports the behaviours and mindsets that future-proof your organisation -making it easier to align with what’s coming in 2025 and beyond.

The 2-hour training reinforces:

• Fair flexible working practices

• Proactive support for day-one rights like parental leave and sick pay

• Respectful and transparent redundancy processes

• Open, safe channels for protected disclosures

• Internal readiness for pay gap reporting (ethnicity, disability)

You policies can be cultural building blocks - and this training will enable them to shape positive experience at all levels of your organisation. 

A Natural Step Forward

Wherever you organisation is on the social value journey, in the light of employment law changes, this training is the logical next step. 

It offers a structured, team-wide introduction that helps embed inclusive values and prepare for change - not just legally, but meaningfully.

Ready to take the first step?

The 2-hour Social Value training session is just £35 +VAT per person, and is delivered online for maximum flexibility. It’s a smart, accessible way to build capability, increase engagement, and create a stronger foundation for the future.
