In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast I'm joined by Cecilia McKenney to discuss how to build a world-class employee experience for today’s hybrid workforce. We also discuss the four components of “the great re-engagement”, the difference between employee recognition and appreciation and why upgrading your employee recognition systems is so important.
