Winnipeg, MB – February 16, 2026

oyce Odidison, a trailblazer Canadian women entrepreneur, will unveil the WIS® Resilience Intelligence Platform at Manitoba Tech Week on February 25, 2026. As President & CEO of Interpersonal Wellness Services Inc.

The WIS® Resilience platform’s effectiveness has already been proven across continents:

  • Miami University Ohio State School Funding Mental Health Program chose WIS® framework for their 75-school pilot in 2022, the only non-US company selected.
  • Bayer Indonesia pharmaceutical HR team consulted the WIS® 9-Dimensional framework to address insurance compliance related workforce mental health claims.
  • Treasury Board Canada utilized WIS® 9-Dimensional assessment for a national employee wellness initiative.
  • The Government of Malaysia consultants consulted the WIS® 9-Dimensional framework for population-level health and resilience strategy
  • Singapore’s department of training brought Odidison in for conflict resolution leadership training in 2017.

With Tech Week Manitoba spotlighting Canadian tech leaders, Odidison’s work offers both inspiration and a practical solution to today’s workplace mental health crisis. “The WIS® platform provides organizations with actionable data to identify and address burnout, moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, to individual resilience index reports for each employee”, she says. The multilingual, GDPR-compliant platform fosters diversity and inclusion across cultures and populations.
