Employer Love: Beyond Hearts and Flowers
Fortunately, it’s a different story for relationships between employers and employees . Even companies that haven’t connected with their workforce in meaningful ways can turn a lackluster situation around. But what’s the best approach ? And is it really worth the effort ?
That’s the topic the TalentCulture community is taking on this week at #TChat Events . And we’re fortunate to be welcoming two guests who understand the importance of developing solid employer/employee bonds: Chris Boyce Virgin Pulse Kevin Herman The Horton Group
Sneak Peek
Both of these executives see tremendous potential in strengthening employee loyalty and engagement by focusing on lifestyle fundamentals — health and well-being.

Recently, Chris contributed a TalentCulture post expanding on this concept. In “Workplace Wellness: The Story Starts With Healthy Culture ,” he makes the business case for embracing next-generation wellness programs — not just to promote employee health, but to build a more resilient business, overall.
