May 3: InPower Coffee Break with Mary Schaefer – Improving Results with Pro-Human Workplaces

by | Apr 29, 2016 | Coffee Break

In our last converastion with Mary Schaefer, we talked about pro-human workplaces. 

We learned that employers who had pro-human work environments had a better bottom line. And not just slightly better – significantly better than their peers.

She read this quote last time:

Studies show that organizations that display empathy, among other human-related attributes, are more successful. In the book Firms of Endearment author Raj Sisodia et al. state the “firms of endearment” that are publicly held returned 1,026 percent for investors over the 10 years ending June 30, 2006. Compare that with 122 percent for the S&P 500.

How do companies do this? That’s what we’ll learn on Tuesday, May 3.
