SPOTLIGHT ARTICLE
If Humility Is So Important, Why Are Leaders So Arrogant?

7 Keys To Make Your Employees Love Your Company
Forbes: “Comparably analyzed 5 million ratings by employees from 45,000 companies to find out if they’re happy at work — more precisely, if they’re happy with their employers. They divided companies into large (500+ employees) and Small/Mid-Size (500 or fewer employees). There have been other, similar studies before — often linked to engagement and productivity, and including those that insist salaries have little to do with happiness, which some pundits have run with — and ran way off the field of reality, in my mind. But what this new survey reveals is extremely telling about the nature of how we work today.”

Looking to Improve Workplace Culture? Start by Increasing Employee Engagement.
Training Industry: “After researching over 10,000 companies, the O.C. Tanner institute identified six essential aspects of workplace culture: purpose, opportunity, success, appreciation, well-being and leadership.
