The Story
With a background in HR, Werklab’s Founder, Christina Disler, observed a significant disconnect in the way businesses engage with their employees and the often-underestimated link between employee well-being and business success. This insight ignited her entrepreneurial journey in 2016. Werklab embodies the philosophy that regenerative work environments can enhance productivity and unlock potential within the individual.
Werklab set out to challenge the conventional narratives of productivity and counteract the "hustle culture" that has become pervasive in our society. In a world that glorifies constant busyness and excessive caffeine consumption, we have lost touch with the optimal conditions that foster creativity and growth. Christina is dedicated to creating environments that holistically support individuals’ mental, physical, and professional health. She firmly believes that if business owners and leaders take time to slow down, introspect and realign, the impact would go far beyond the businesses they run and ripple into the greater communities.
Christina’s journey has included some notable highs, including being selected as a 2018 30 Under 30 entrepreneur by BC Business, ambassadorial roles with Cadillac Canada and lululemon, and the receipt of the Canadian Federal government's Women's Entrepreneurship Fund in 2019. She recently accomplished her Executive MBA through TRIUM (a joint programme with LSE, NYU Stern and HEC Paris). Now based in London, She has launched Aster - an AI-powered culture diagnostics platform, Aster underscoring the key bond between employee well-being and fiscal performance. Embracing a data-driven yet human-centred approach, Christina’s mission is to transform the workplace with humanity and compassion.
