The CultureSHIFT Method: The Data-Driven Framework for Wellness, Leadership, and ROI
In a time of constant transformation, economic uncertainty, and AI disrupting how we work, wellness can no longer be a line item in the benefits stack. It has to be a culture and leadership strategy, or organizations will not survive the transition ahead.
In this session, Dr. Romie Mushtaq will walk HR and benefits leaders through how she builds whole-person wellness programs that are:
- Tied directly to leadership and culture
- Built to show real, measurable ROI.
- Customized to a company's actual workforce & culture
She willl introduce the three pillars she uses with every company she consults with, whether they have 25 or 25,000 employees. You’ll also learn about the key assessments used to take the guesswork out of this entirely.
The Busy Brain Test to measure burnout, a Trust Index to measure trust within teams, and a caring and empathy assessment, because you cannot lead a cultureSHIFT, you can't measure. Dr. Romie Mushtaq has used this system as a two-time Chief Wellness Officer, with measurable results at Great Wolf Resorts: a 14,000-person organization.
