Join us for another Meet the Author with Karen J. Hewitt as she discusses her book "People Power: Transform your Business in the Era of Safety and Wellbeing" with co-host Gary Wong and Tamara Parris.
2021 has been called the Year of Extremes – extreme weather with natural catastrophes (heat waves, drought, wildfires, flooding rain, deep freezes). Throw in pandemic restrictions, social injustice, broken supply chain processes, digital technology running amok.
- How do we continue to protect our workforce in the long term?
- How do we engage employees, who have had their confidence – levels knocked in the turbulence of a pandemic?
- How do we get the best out of an employee base that is already having to operate in a ‘new normal’?
