The Transportation Paradox: Disconnect Between Employer Expectation and Rural Realities - Episode 04

Listen Later

For this week’s episode, the team shares the most shocking disconnect between rural employers and the people they hire. We also dive into the importance of workplace environments, the role our financial realities play in our employment success, and the unique challenges faced by rural communities specifically.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How employers can make a difference in employment success by helping to solve one problem
  • What it means to have a healthy work environment
  • How unique rural challenges can often be left out of the equation – and how that impacts program success
