“Huge thank you to Denise Brouder from SWAY for sharing her knowledge with my HR executive group. Her “(Re)Build a Culture of Connection” workshop is backed by research and data to inform organizations how we can move forward in this new work environment. Denise’s insights on how each company can seize this moment to rethink how companies, teams, and humans can work together are so well-informed and inspiring. The pandemic has granted us a silver lining to reimagine work so that it fits into our lives, and not the other way around. I hope the leaders of today and tomorrow will use insights, like the ones SWAY is offering, to truly reshape how we work so we can all have a quality employee experience and the life we deserve.”
