How can organizations make employee well-being a leadership responsibility, not just an employee responsibility? Why is belonging the number one driver of employee well-being? My guest on this episode is Mark C. Crowley, a pioneer in workplace leadership, speaker, and bestselling author of Lead from the Heart and The Power of Employee Well-Being. During our conversation, Mark and I discuss the following: Why leading with the heart is often misunderstood as being "soft" in business settings. How pulse surveys, when paired with real accountability systems, can transform manager behavior and team performance. Why belonging is the number one driver of employee well-being Why employee well-being is the leader’s responsibility, not the employee’s and the research that proves it. Why HR leaders need to challenge decisions that prioritize short-term financial metrics over long-term culture and people.
