Quotes:

“Another trend I'm seeing now that's a big focus—on one hand, it’s nothing new, it’s just increased importance—is employee engagement. Once you get those hires on board, you want to keep them happy. You want to communicate with them.”

“Even when I was at AT&T and we use different tools, there were so many you used. You’d try one thing and that would work and you'd use it for a couple years—and maybe it was a performance management software and everybody was gung ho. And then all of a sudden it just died. That's why I think leadership commitment—it has to be top down driven.”
