The Infinite ROI of Leading with Care by Danny Goldberg

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, the quest to retain top talent has never been more intense. Fortunately, this challenge presents the opportunity for your organization to unleash one of the most powerful and reliable forces for an engaged and loyal workforce today: Care. When leaders inspire a Culture of Care — that is, a unified workforce where workers feel deeply cared for on a personal level — the potential ROI is infinite. Productivity, engagement and retention is only the beginning. Loyalty, innovation and each individual contributor’s desire to go above and beyond for your company becomes the norm. And instead of fighting for talent, talent will fight for you.
