S8-Ep21: Achieving Employee-Centric Leadership - A Leader’s Food for Thought
· host Innovative Leadership Institute
Guest: Heather Krentler Employees want to be heard. They want to know their employer wants the best for them. Continental Services heard – and worked hard to innovate their company culture to fully focus on the employee journey. Heather Krentler, Continental’s chief administrative officer, joins host Maureen Metcalf to explore Continental’s employee-led culture and how it came to be; the changes made not just to engagement, but sourcing the best talent in the first place; and how leaders embraced the new employee-centric culture. The results have been remarkable: a happy staff really does lead to a pleasant bottom line! Here's what Heather and Maureen cover: How part of the Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting stem from people – your staff – asserting more control over their lives; Why compensation doesn’t cut it as the only benefit to retain a valuable employee; and Why the best ideas tend to come from the front line, not the back office.
