The Regulatory Imperative

Three Reasons Speak-Up Culture Is Now a Compliance Priority

The FCA treats how safely people can speak up as a marker of a healthy firm. Three regulatory developments make measuring it a board-level concern.

SMCR

Senior Managers Are Accountable for Culture

Under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, senior managers are responsible for the culture of the areas they lead, including whether staff feel able to raise concerns. The FCA looks for evidence that firms monitor and act on speak-up signals.

PS25/23 · 1 Sept 2026

Non-Financial Misconduct Becomes a Conduct Matter

From 1 September 2026, the FCA extends the Conduct Rules so that serious non-financial misconduct, such as bullying and harassment, is a regulatory concern at all SMCR firms, and a factor in fit and proper assessments. Cultures where people fear speaking up carry direct regulatory exposure.

FCA Culture Supervision

Supervisors Look for Evidence They Can Examine

The FCA has made healthy culture a long-running supervisory priority and expects boards to understand and respond to how their people experience the firm. A validated measure of psychological safety gives you data to show, in place of self-assessment.

Attuned psychological safety report showing an overall score and per-category breakdown across the six behaviours

Illustrative Attuned psychological safety report. Scores and firm name are sample data.

The report scores an overall psychological safety level and breaks it down by team and by each of the six behaviours, with the distribution of responses behind every number. That is the artefact a supervisor can read, and the one your senior managers can act on quarter over quarter.

Common Questions

Questions from Compliance and People Teams

How does Attuned help evidence psychological safety for the FCA?

Attuned gives you a validated, repeatable measure of psychological safety scored across six behavioural categories, with a dashboard and an exportable report. That turns speak-up culture into something your senior managers can monitor, act on, and show to a supervisor, alongside your existing SMCR documentation.

How does this relate to PS25/23 non-financial misconduct obligations?

The FCA's PS25/23 guidance comes into force on 1 September 2026 and extends the Conduct Rules (COCON) so that serious non-financial misconduct, such as bullying and harassment, is a regulatory matter at all SMCR firms. Attuned's Expressing Disagreement, Giving Feedback, and Mistake Reporting categories measure the team conditions where such behaviour goes unreported, so you can see risk early.

Is the data anonymous enough for employees to answer honestly?

Responses are anonymised at the point of collection and reported at team level, so no individual answer is visible to a manager. Anonymity is what makes the data candid, and candid data is what makes the evidence credible.

What does implementation look like for a firm of 500 employees?

A pilot covering one business unit can be live within a week, with no IT project required. The assessment takes around 10 minutes per person. A full-firm rollout typically takes three to four weeks, and regulated-firm accounts get a dedicated implementation lead.
