In the C-Suite, the name of the game is always treating customers first. But what if it was the employees that were the priority, and the customers came...second?

In this video, I break down why putting employees first and customers second isn't just a bold strategy—it's backed by research and real-world results. We’ll dive into stories from companies like HCL Technologies, Home Depot, and Whole Foods exploring how putting your employees first leads to happier customers, better performance, and improved profits.
