As we round out our discussion, we touch on the evolving nature of work, the rise of gig employment, and the impact of remote work on employee loyalty. We also delve into generational differences in workplace expectations, revealing how millennials and Gen Z view loyalty differently than their predecessors. Finally, learn strategies for building lifelong relationships with employees, emphasizing trust, transparency, and genuine care.
