Built On Evidence, Not Opinion.
CultureIQ Labs was built by a practitioner who spent a decade inside the systems that weren't working — and synthesized 697+ peer-reviewed studies into the platform she wished had existed.
Origin
Built By Someone Who Has Been On Both Sides.
A decade in group benefits and disability management. MS in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. DBA candidate. CDMP. SHRM-CP. C.Mgr. But credentials don't build platforms — experience does.
A first-generation university graduate and mother of two, diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, she completed her MS while raising her children and navigating her father's end-of-life care — the same intersection of work, caregiving, and accommodation that CultureIQ Labs is built to measure.
Raised in Montreal as an English-speaking linguistic minority in Quebec's francophone-dominant workplace culture, she witnessed how existing workplace research systematically excludes the 23% of Quebec's workforce that operates in a non-dominant language. Only 6% of Canadian workplace studies include linguistic minority perspectives.
MS capstone research on psychological safety measurement and neurodivergent workplace accommodation — developing four new validated instruments for constructs no existing scale captured.
CultureIQ Labs was built by a practitioner who has sat across the desk from the employee who wasn't coming back, managed the claim that didn't make sense, and led the team that went quiet. Someone who has also been the person on the other side of that conversation.
The evidence was always there. The infrastructure to act on it wasn't. So she built it.

between what evidence recommends for disability management and what Canadian organizations actually do. The research exists. The infrastructure to act on it didn't.
Gap analysis across 10 disability management domains — CultureIQ Labs integrated framework
The Research Foundation.
Our research explicitly addresses populations that mainstream workplace psychology overlooks. Only 6% of Canadian workplace studies include linguistic minority perspectives — yet 23% of Quebec's workforce operates in a non-dominant language.

What We Believe.
Measurement before intervention.
You cannot improve what you have not measured. And you cannot measure psychological safety with an engagement survey. It requires team-level, construct-specific instrumentation.
Systemic problems require systemic solutions.
A meta-analysis of 492 studies (N=87,418) found that awareness-based training produces weak effects (d<0.30) with rapid decay. Behavior-focused interventions targeting procedures show moderate-to-strong effects. That's why we build systems, not workshops.
Evidence over opinion.
Every feature in the platform maps to peer-reviewed research. Not best practices. Not trends. Not what worked at one company once. Peer-reviewed, replicated evidence.
Infrastructure was missing, not intent.
Most organizations want to do the right thing. They have never had the system to do it consistently, at scale, with a defensible audit trail. We build that system.

Where It Started
Edmondson (1999) — the foundational study that changed how we think about team-level psychological safety. CultureIQ Labs extends this work with 697+ studies across three domains.
