Creating Workplaces That Work
This week's (7/26/10 to 8/1/10) Work Matters takes a look at employee engagement and building positive work relationships.
Employee disengagement and distrust are issues that currently plague most companies in the United States. As an employee, can you imagine looking forward to going to work? What would it feel like to be able to fully trust your co-workers? Do you think your business could change its culture to one that truly values you as a team member?
The show starts with a segment of Uncommon Sense where Nan and her colleague Beth Pelkofsky discuss the recent article Engagement through a New Lens.
Then Nan interviews Roxanne Emmerich nationally known speaker and the author of Thank God It's Monday. Roxanne shares her insights into the clues of what a company's true culture is and the steps that need to be taken to improve it.
