Lab Culture Reflection | 8-Page Team Culture & Discussion Tool
A lab can say it has a healthy culture.
But what does that actually look like in practice?
Do people feel comfortable asking questions?
Are expectations clear?
Is workload distributed fairly?
Can concerns be raised without fear of consequences?
Do mentorship, communication, and accountability work the way the team thinks they do?
The Lab Culture Reflection is an 8-page printable discussion and reflection tool designed to help research teams look more closely at how people actually experience the lab—not just how the culture is described.
Rather than reducing culture to a single score, this tool helps teams reflect on patterns, norms, expectations, and experiences across several areas that shape day-to-day research life.
It can be used individually or as part of a structured conversation during a lab retreat, team-building session, annual reset, onboarding discussion, or group reflection meeting.
