"A breakthrough guide that transforms how organizations think about people, performance, and culture."

Unlock the next great business advantage--inclusive culture that drives performance.
While most organizations obsess over technology, processes, and operations, they overlook the most powerful lever they have--culture. Each year, businesses spend over $366 billion on culture and development programs. And yet, 70% of that investment fails to improve performance.
In Performance Culture, Diversio CEO and workplace performance expert Laura McGee reveals why legacy culture, DEI, and engagement programs have stalled--and how to replace them with a measurable, ROI-driven system. Drawing on data from 200,000+ employees, case studies from companies like OMERS, Ubisoft, and Costco, and research partnerships with institutions including the Alan Turing Institute and Queen's University, McGee introduces the Performance Culture Formula:
Performance = Culture (Motivation × Inclusion) × Development (Training × Opportunity)
The formula isn't theory. It's a practical operating system that connects human potential directly to revenue, cost, and profit. Inside you'll learn:
- Why most engagement, DEI, and training programs fail--and how to build ones that work
- How to diagnose and fix the culture-performance gap in your organization
- What high-performing companies do differently to achieve measurable returns
- How to design infrastructure that turns motivation and inclusion into sustained excellence
- How to future-proof your culture in a post-DEI, AI-enabled, politically volatile world
Whether you're a CEO aligning culture with growth, a CHRO rebuilding trust and retention, or a skeptical operator tired of vague culture talk--this is your playbook to stop measuring feelings and start engineering performance.
