I love a bold statement. “Employee engagement is dead” is up there. But why would a man who spent most of his career preaching employee engagement say that it’s dead?

We speak to Cliff Ettridge of The Team to learn why makes such a claim. Have a listen to the interview below, keep reading for a summary and be sure to subscribe to the Employer Branding Podcast.
