We are pleased to offer Yankee IABC members an opportunity to participate in this IABC teleseminar at a significantly reduced rate. The registration fee is only $10 – a great value when you consider the regular cost of an IABC teleseminar is $99!

Each year the Great Place to Work® Institute, Inc. selects the “100 Best Companies to Work for in America” and publishes the list in Fortune magazine. The Institute has amassed a sizable body of research on how the 100 Best create workplace environments that leverage the talent and skill of their workforces and enjoy tangible business value for their efforts. The Institute believes any company can become a great place to work.

This seminar will concentrate on the business case for focusing on workplace development, the role of trust in becoming a great workplace and current trends and innovative best practices of the 100 Best. The presentation will conclude with next generation practices for improving and sustaining a great workplace.
