“A family culture can’t be forced, and it can’t be faked, but it can be felt.” What a valuable message for any and every organization!

Hey thanks! I'm on a mission to get this message out! Thanks!!

Love this! I am going to share this today! Good family environment has positive benefits in more than just our home. Also, I loved how the three top needs of 1. Safety 2. Satisfaction and 3. Connection can be fulfilled in our home and in the workspace. Keeping those at the forefront is going to help the businesses flourish. Because the employees are HAPPY and part of the work FAMILY!!!

[@drdaveschramm]

Thanks for this great comment Jarna! We would all do well to treat others with kindness at home AND at work!

Thanks Aubrey!

[@suswha]

Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to implement some of these ideas!

[@hannahcragun8959]

I like “positivity over a paycheck” and “culture over compensation”. While we may be initially driven by money when we’re in the job market, we STAY because of how we feel at work.

[@jgardner7914]

How different our world would be if all businesses used this "secret sauce" in some way!!!!

[@drdaveschramm]

Right!?? Small and simple things...Treat employees and coworkers like family!
