Podcast: The culture advantage

Ep.244-Social-Post-3-MACPA-Future-Proof-Podcast-2025.jpg

We tend to treat culture as the soft stuff of business, but what if it's not soft at all? What if it's actually one of the most powerful drivers of a business's performance?

In this episode of "Future-Proof," we sit down with Don Rheem, founder of CultureID, to explore how neuroscience is reshaping the way leaders understand engagement, behavior, and results.

Don, who will be delivering the lunch keynote at the MACPA's Converge conference on April 30, explains how the way employees feel at work directly drives how they perform, and why factors like psychological safety, trust, and recognition are not just nice-to-haves but are, in fact, measurable business drivers. From the impact of managers on engagement to the hidden costs of disengagement, this conversation challenges leaders to rethink culture as a system that can be measured, managed, and improved. Don offers a practical, science-backed look at how organizations can create environments in which people thrive and performance follows.

Listen to the conversation in its entirety.
