The Top 15 Companies That Promote A Positive Workplace
Blind conducted a survey to gain the “pulse” of how people feel about their jobs and business leadership, exclusively for the Happy at Work podcast and Forbes readers. According to Rick Chen, the company’s director of public relations, “Many companies employ employee engagement surveys, but they are unpopular among workers. Professionals often feel like their responses go into a black hole. Leadership and HR teams typically do not share insights from the survey, and it is unclear if they take any action from the feedback.” Chen said, “Blind’s mission is to bring transparency to the workplace.
