Getting Personal with Compt
In an era where the line between work and life blurs, we're asking: why do we still treat employees less like humans and more like machines? There's plenty of talk about "enhancing the employee experience" but the conversation overlooks the core of it all - the human experience. Getting Personal with Compt, hosted by Head of Brand and Communications Lauren Schneider, ditches the formalities and gets real with trailblazers and thought leaders who simply give a hoot about humanity. Join us as we explore the successes and challenges of shaping a workplace where people come first. Stay connected with the movement and follow Compt on LinkedIn, or explore our insights and updates at www.compt.io.
