Steve Crescenzo and Kathy Klotz-Guest were Shel Holtz’s guest co-hosts this week. The conversation covered these items:
- Nearly a quarter of employees can’t name their CEO or even pick him 0r her out of a lineup. What should CEOs be doing about this (and does it even matter)?
- Are town halls the worst way for executives to communicate face-to-face with employees?
- Political discussions are on the increase in the workplace and the results aren’t always good. You can’t banish such talk, so how should companies manage it?
- GE has just launched its latest branded content effort and once again, employees are front-and-center.
- Companies in the news have become the targets of online memes. Should companies ignore them, argue with them, or join in the fun?
- Dan York reports on breached email accounts, the Jakarta Declaration issued by UNESCO on World Press Freedom Day (and its call for open encryption), the challenge of cities besieged by delivery trucks (which result from the rise of online retailing), the future of jobs and jobs training, and a May 11 Chatham House event on the impact of the Internet on societies.
