Danny Nelms, President of the Work Institute, can tell you more about the health of your company just by talking to your people than any spreadsheet or financial report ever will. Danny and his team at the Work Institute believe that the employees of any organization are foundational to its success.

Why are companies failing to understand this simple fact? That’s what we asked Danny in our interview as we met to discuss the latest publication from the Work Institute, “EmployeR Engagement: The Fresh and Dissenting Voice on the Employment Relationship.” (click to order)

Danny has an interesting take on the employer – employee relationship, even in these troubled times. And he often finds himself telling employers not what they want to hear, but what they NEED to hear.
