            • how to set the right communication framework
            • how to ensure you're respecting their boundaries as a contracted resource while also making them feel welcome and appreciated
            • how to follow state laws when it comes to treating freelancers as employees (i.e. California AB5 law)

              • Employee Engagement through Adversity

                In this episode, we're talking about employee engagement during times of adversity -- and let's face it, we've all been dealing with a touch of adversity lately with the COVID-19 pandemic upending things on both personal and professional levels. With all this uncertainty, employee engagement can be a bit precarious. When people aren't engaged, productivity lags, and sales and marketing efforts can suffer.

As a best-selling author of Fire Up Your Team: 50 Ways for Leaders to Connect, Collaborate and Create with their Teams, Jacqueline strives to create cultures of passion, productivity, and performance.

                During our conversation with Jacqueline, we cover:

                • Employee engagement levels -- before and during the pandemic
                • Employee engagement as part of disaster preparedness planning
                • Managing teams and morale during times of uncertainty
                • Applying "lessons learned" during the COVID-19 pandemic to future periods of adversity
