Episode Description
Are you wondering how to ignite engagement in your workforce? Or perhaps you’re curious about the various ways people experience meaning in their work? In this episode, two long-time colleagues enjoy a conversation about their perspectives on and experience with helping companies address employee engagement. For a twist, David Lee interviews Alise Cortez, the show’s host, about her 10-year plus research efforts to understand how people experience meaning in their work and its relationship to their sense of self or identity. Alise queries David about his views on why employees “just aren’t that into their employers,” and some things employers can do to change that and foster employee engagement.
