About Mosaic Worx

Culture Strategy Built to Withstand the Headlines

The truth is, culture challenges don’t solve themselves. Ignoring them only makes the cracks wider—costing you your best people, your reputation, and your results.

At the same time, too many leaders feel paralyzed. They worry about saying the wrong thing, getting caught in politics, or discovering their influence doesn’t matter. But leadership matters now more than ever. Your people don’t need perfect leaders—they need courageous ones.

That’s where Mosaic Worx comes in.

We’re not just facilitators. We’re Culture Catalysts—a team of certified DEI strategists, leadership coaches, and culture builders with more than 80 years of combined expertise in human behavior and organizational change. We’ve stood at the intersection of justice, leadership, and business long before DEI made headlines, and we know what it takes to make culture change real—and sustainable.

This was the most impactful experience of my more than 20-year career. It reminded me of the importance of human connection. That simple insight — that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care — really moved me. I may not be able to change things on a grand scale, but I can make sure that, at least on a local and personal level, people know I care about them.

National Healthcare System: 32% Drop in Workplace Conflict

Challenge

A national healthcare system faced rising workplace conflicts and communication breakdowns between mid-level managers and frontline staff. Leaders admitted they lacked the confidence and skills to address bias, resolve disagreements, and lead across differences—resulting in morale issues and slower patient care delivery.

Solution

Mosaic Worx implemented a 6-month Conflict & Inclusive Leadership Program for 75 managers. The program included conflict resolution training, role-play scenarios, and coaching to strengthen confidence in navigating difficult conversations while maintaining trust.

Results

  • 32% decrease in reported workplace conflicts across departments
  • 41% increase in managers’ self-reported ability to handle difficult conversations effectively
  • Improved collaboration scores in employee engagement surveys
  • Notable increase in staff trust toward management and reduced turnover in high-stress units

Impact

The healthcare system reduced costly disruptions, improved patient-facing teamwork, and equipped its leaders with long-term skills to lead with confidence and compassion.

Fortune 250 Consumer Goods Company: +24% Leader Confidence

Challenge

A global technology firm experiencing rapid growth struggled with leadership “bottlenecks.” Middle managers felt excluded from DEI efforts and unprepared to support increasingly diverse teams. This “frozen middle” stalled culture change, eroded engagement, and risked losing top talent.

Solution

Mosaic Worx applied its Culture Catalyst® model, a framework designed to break resistance, align leadership layers, and embed DEI into everyday practices. A Leadership Alignment & DEI Integration Program was created for 120 mid-level managers, blending assessments, inclusive leadership workshops, and strategy labs.

Results

  • +35% increase in managers’ confidence leading diverse teams
  • +29% improvement in psychological safety scores across pilot teams
  • Reduction in employee exits citing “lack of leadership support”
  • Managers reported stronger alignment with organizational DEI goals

Impact

By leveraging the Culture Catalyst® model, the firm transformed its “frozen middle” into active culture champions, creating sustainable momentum for inclusion and reducing costly turnover risks.
