“ ”Building trust through consistent two-way
communication is at the heart of a great workplace. The bi-product (sic) of listening to your employees,
soliciting their input on a regular and consistent basis, is that we learn how to run the business better. They
become the catalyst of great changes in our business.
— Dwight Cooper
