Quotes: “[Hourly workers have] really, really hard jobs and they need great management—they need great leadership. Most [hourly workers] are not getting it.” “One universal soft need [of employees] is wanting to feel part of something, and that’s where culture comes into play. In my experience, most business owners, most managers, [and] most leaders don’t know what culture is.”Resources: Books by Scott GreenbergContact:Scott's LinkedInDavid's LinkedInDwight's LinkedInPodcast Manger: Karissa HarrisEmail us!Production by Affogato Media To schedule a meeting with us: https://salary.com/hrdlconsulting For more HR Data Labs®, enjoy the HR Data Labs Brown Bag Lunch Hours every Friday at 2:00PM-2:30PM EST.
