Description
What makes one organization thrive and excel to new heights while the organization barely tread water with apathetic employees and average productivity? What habits do successful, diverse, and engaged workplaces have in common? These questions and more were the focus of the 14-month research project which looked at some of the most successful profit and nonprofit organizations worldwide. After hundreds of interviews, the research results are guaranteed to be “aha” moments that participants can take back to their organization, especially the work on diversity, equity and inclusion. So, join me for this interesting journey to move our average organizational work culture from tolerable to good to great.
