- Change: Be aware of how change impacts on your existing workforce and people who might think about working for you.
- Nurture: Everyone needs to feel nurtured at work, from the support worker to the CEO; we all need affirmation if we’re going to do our best.
- Engage: Listen to and learn from your workforce and others about what keeps people in jobs and makes them want to work for you.
