4 employees. It is oftentimes stated by leaders and managers alike that employees are their greatest asset. While these words communicate a proven truth, oftentimes the actions of these same managers and leaders present another truth to employees which are inconsistent with their words. Enlightened leaders are those that eliminate the gap between their words and actions. Sustainability is a business strategy which continues despite, or perhaps because of, the current business climate. Learn how to leverage the power of sustainable workforce practices to appreciate your organization s human resources.
