Please tune in this week as Wayne reviews some mind-blowing numbers and offers eight tips for how to express genuine gratitude – not just because it’s a competitive advantage but because it’s the right thing to do! We’d like to hear what you’re doing to make your workplaces better and more welcoming. Please share in the comments below. Thanks.
