The Workplace Edge is here to give listeners more than mere food for thought… you’ll find a breadcrumb trail to building destination workplaces and teams where it’s easy to keep great employees.
Larger companies have the benefit of large HR departments, continuous improvement functions, and annual employee engagement budgets. As amazing as that sounds, the smaller organizations have big advantages to attract and keep great people. We’ll tell you how to find them and use them.
The host has been a training and performance leader and consultant for over 25 years. She thrives on helping others embrace their work by leveraging processes and connecting to purpose.
The greatest discovery she made in her career is that the most significant work typically happens beneath the surface in an organization. The way work gets done day in and day out is what make the organization successful or susceptible. This is the kind of stuff that doesn’t happen as a result of formal training.
The goal of this podcast is to inform and inspire everyone who is inclined to listen with a positive work philosophy: Work is a team sport where it’s fulfilling when we work better, faster, and cheaper for a competitive advantage. Who doesn’t want to enjoy the camaraderie of getting BIG results where everyone is operating on all cylinders?!?
The podcast is a mix of informational episodes, interview episodes, and listener question episodes.
