Why you should Attend:
Question: What do Marriott, USAA, Cisco Systems, Kronos, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Southwest Airlines all have in common?
Answer: Because they have company cultures in which employees LOVE to come to work. They regularly appear on Best Places To Work lists published by the likes of Fortune, Glass Door, Forbes., and Inc. Magazine.
“So What?” you say. ”These companies may be awesome, but I don’t have the power the CEOs of these companies have to create such cultures.”
Answer: It doesn’t matter. Pay, perks, gourmet cafeterias and on-site ping pong tables have little to do with it. How employees are lead, however, does. This webinar will show you how to lead your team like Best Places To Work companies are lead so everyone will work harder, enjoy their jobs more, and stay loyal longer.
