“How Employee Centricity Drives Business Success” with Stephan Meier, Chair and Professor at Columbia Business School & Author of 'The Employee Advantage: How Putting Workers First Help Business Thrive'


Listen Later

How can you create a more employee centric culture?

Why do companies that invest in employee experience consistently outperform their competitors?

My guest on this episode is Stephan Meier, Professor at Columbia Business School & author of 'The Employee Advantage: How Putting Workers First Help Business Thrive'.

During our conversation Stephan and I discuss:

  • Why employees care about more than just money when it comes to their jobs—the same way customers care about more than just price.
  • How investing in employee experience drives innovation, reduces costs, and significantly boosts retention.
  • Why designing "just right" challenges that stretch but don't overwhelm employees is crucial for engagement.
  • How strategic choices around generative AI can enhance rather than diminish human contribution and engagement.
