Right now in our communities, our most vulnerable people are being given 30 day notices to vacate their apartments.  The wave of homelessness is expanding beyond our comprehension.  In this episode, Craig Poole, driven by his high level of empathy and concern for those who are being marginalized, uses his voice to become their voice for hope.  Craig speaks about what we (collectively) can do to help those, who by no fault of their own, are being put out of their homes and onto the streets.  How can we all come together and help those who are suffering, as Craig calls it, from an evictiondemic.

Craig Poole and Dan Hoch join Toni Reece in a conversation about the power of an employee feeling valued, their work valued and their role in your company valued.  Understanding their value directly impacts the quality of their work.  Listen to this important conversation about self-worth, feeling valued and how it all ties together into Humanize P.R.O.F.I.T.
