Putting People First for the Win
When people are happy with their job, they are more positive parents, partners, friends, and community members. Putting people first at work has a broader influence on community health and well-being.

It’s also good business. Satisfied employees provide a better customer experience, which leads to better business results. This session will cover how business leaders can benefit from people-first practices and what they can do to start making these changes.
