“As someone who has dedicated my own career to the exploration of the employee experience, Mark’s consultancy partnership was instrumental in my team development approach at Amazon and, most recently, when I brought him into the classroom for my Corporate Communications graduate students at the University of Colorado-Boulder. As I knew when I first met Mark, and as continues today, Mark has a contagiously curious approach in his respect for the PR profession and his commitment to the well-being of the professionals who move the industry forward every day.”

For your teams:
Team Check-Up
Recent data suggests that employees who trust their managers, teammates, and leaders are more likely to absorb organizational change. One way to establish trust is to be more transparent about previously undocumented work expectations. Through a closed-door session and as a team, we design a charter that emphasizes the benefits of an equitable work environment and establishes agreed-upon expectations. This demonstrates clear leadership and empowers employees to care about their well-being, reducing employee burnout and turnover.
-
New and existing teams looking to build trust and rapport across the group.
-
• The importance of how a team workplace charter empowers employees and managers to partner in decisions impacting their work/ life balance effectively.

Feel an increase in morale and rapport, ultimately reducing stress and anxiety across the team.
