How to Care for your Employees
Joan Duggan was co-founder of a very successful company, which she later sold. She then worked in the corporate world for a while, but eventually gave almost all of her money away and founded an EoC-minded tutoring startup in upstate New York, which she helped manage for over 2 decades. Here Joan explains how an EoC approach to the workplace is to build community-- to value people and assist and love people. This makes a radical difference in how you engage with employees.
- What are ways a boss could build relationship with employees?
- Why do you think it is somewhat unusual for owners or bosses to get very involved in the personal lives of their employees (going to their kids baptisms, attending their weddings, etc?) like Joan and her partners did?
- What motivated the tutors to keep coming back to work even after they no longer needed the money?
- How can businesses balance professionalism with building a sense of belonging?
