Listen "Culture Classics: 100 days to feel seen, heard and valued, with Joey Coleman"
Episode Synopsis
“In the first 100 days in most organizations, employees feel overwhelmed. They feel unconnected... unseen, unheard, unappreciated… Lots of times leaders will say, "Well, it will be better if we're all back in the office." Why? What proof do you have? As we look at research data... the great majority of employees are happier working remotely than want to work in the office.” ~Joey ColemanWe're republishing one of our "Culture Classics" featuring Joey Coleman, bestselling author of 'Never Lose an Employee Again'. Joey brings a bold, data-backed perspective on employee retention, remote work, and the critical importance of the first 100 days.
