The Sticky From The Inside Podcast
The number of engaged employees across the globe is frankly, rubbish! And it hasn't changed in years. 65% of employees really don't care about the work they do or the company they work for. With so much time spent at work, what a waste of people's time and lives that is, and I'm on a mission to change that. Sticky From The Inside is the employee engagement and workplace culture podcast that looks at how to build stickier, competition-smashing, consistently successful organisations from the inside out. Each episode I chat with guests from a variety of backgrounds, who share their thoughts, stories, ideas and insights into how you can create a workplace where people love what they do and who they do it for. Where customers get you, love what you do and passionately recommend you to others. That's what I call a "Stickier Business".
