Why Investing in People Is Good Business
The workforce has evolved. Studies show that many workers don’t want to return to a traditional work environment.
Some say the nature of work changed, but according to today’s guest, what actually changed is the values of today’s workers. They want to be seen, heard, and appreciated at their jobs.
Bonnie Canal, Founder and Managing Partner at The Resiliency Institute, joins the show to explain why embracing this paradigm shift will allow companies to attract and retain top talent.
We discuss:
- Why management should be more flexible in how they define “work”
- The importance of remembering that employees are humans
- How to establish a culture that reflects employee values
The Employee Safety Podcast is hosted by Peter Steinfeld, SVP of Safety Solutions at AlertMedia.
