Organizational Culture Transformation
Build the workplace culture your people — and your business — actually need.
When culture works, everything works — retention stabilizes, disability costs drop, and your people have the psychological safety to adapt, innovate, and stay. CultureIQ Labs helps you get there with evidence-based methodology that targets systems, not symptoms.
How It Works
From diagnosis to lasting transformation — in three phases.
1. Diagnose
Understand what's actually happening. Team-level psychological safety assessment with validated measurement identifies where culture breaks down and why — surfacing the patterns that engagement surveys miss.
2. Transform
Redesign the structures driving the problem. Participatory interventions that change processes, leadership practices, and organizational systems — because individual coping tools don't change organizational conditions.
3. Sustain
Build internal capability so transformation lasts. Your managers develop the skills to maintain psychological safety. Your team owns the process. Measurement proves impact and guides continuous improvement.

The A.R.T. Framework™
A sequenced methodology for culture transformation.
Grounded in meta-analytic evidence from 667+ studies. Validated through implementation in Canadian healthcare and public sector environments. The phasing is deliberate — each stage creates the conditions for the next.
Acknowledge
See the system clearly. Team-level psychological safety assessment with ICC validation — the measurement standard only 3.6% of published studies meet. Identifies where safety breaks down and what's driving the patterns.

Restore agency through participatory design. Meta-analytic evidence shows participatory approaches produce sustained positive effects (d = +0.18), while directive approaches produce sustained negative effects (d = −0.22). We work with the people closest to the problem.
8–16 weeksThrive
Build the internal capability so transformation continues beyond the engagement. Manager skill development, embedded measurement, and sustainability planning. Top-quartile cultures outperform peers by 60%.

About
I didn't start as a consultant. I started watching good people burn out in systems that were failing them.
Over 12+ years of progressive leadership — from operations supervision, through disability case management at Sun Life and Canada Life, reinsurance auditing at Munich Re, group benefits implementation at Manulife, to managing a wellness and disability team at Cowan — I kept seeing the same pattern: the employees who didn't recover weren't failing. Their workplaces were.
So I went back to school to understand why. A master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, 667+ studies reviewed, and now a doctorate in Organizational Leadership and Development — all pointing to one clear conclusion: the problem isn't your people. It's the environment they're working in. Now I help organizations across Canada — in English and French — see what's actually happening and build systems that let good people do their best work.

This work isn't for every organization.
We're probably not a fit if
- You want a quick-fix training to check a compliance box
- You expect transformation without examining underlying systems

- You need visible results in 30 days
We're probably a great fit if
- You've tried engagement surveys and they didn't lead to real change
- You suspect the problem is systemic, not individual
- You're willing to involve employees in creating solutions
- You're committed to meaningful change over 6–12 months
