The Women’s Council quarterly programing for 2019 center’s around the theme of “Critical Conversations…” The second quarter luncheon, held on Monday, May 20, at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce, will feature Joyce Jones, CPC, CMPE, practice administrator with Surgical Associates, speaking on the value of employee engagement.
"Having employees who are 'bought-in' will increase production, loyalty and reduce manager’s stress. There are so many fun ways to engage your staff creating higher morale and fewer reasons for them to jump ship for a few extra cents,” said Mrs. Jones. “When unemployment is at its lowest, energizing and engaging your team should be at an all-time high.”
