In the midst of a red hot labor market, the competition for top talent is fierce. Companies are ratcheting up their focus on retaining employees and looking for smart ways to do so.
When leaders are remembered for their impact, it is rarely because of systems or strategy alone. The enduring differentiator is far simpler and far harder to sustain. Leaders who demonstrate that they genuinely care.
