In this episode, Gert gears away from the usual technical topics, SEO and marketing to make way for what is important in any business. And that is the topic that touches on the Employee Value Proposition (EVP). The world has changed immensely post pandemic and since remote work has been how the majority of businesses do their business now, the emotional aspect has been set aside. For example, leaders are not able to see if their employee is having a bad day at the moment, they just see the result - the inferior work they did.
Gert's guest for Episode 122 is Kevin D. Monroe, who as a mentor explored how showing gratitude can have an immense impact in the workplace. In this ever changing world, gratitude is needed now, more than ever. He encourages leaders to tap into the power of gratitude to be able to know the people’s feelings, what every employee wants and whether they feel being valued.
