Employee Engagement: How to Increase Associate Engagement and Improve Your Business Results

If your strategy and operations are critical arteries, then your people are at the heart of strategy execution. We must connect people in meaningful ways around strategy and operations. So, what can we do to engage and prepare our employees?
