See the video here: https://youtu.be/NLn3CCipd8I. Softway is a business-to-employee (B2E) solutions company that offers experiences, services, and technology products to help build resilient, inclusive, and high-performing companies. In 2015, when a toxic culture almost bankrupted the company, Softway’s leadership team—including authors Mohammad Anwar (CEO), Chris Pitre (VP), and Frank Danna and Jeff Ma (Directors)—vowed to bring humanity back to the workplace. Through trial, error, and determination, they rebuilt their organization around their greatest asset: people. Today, through the Seneca Leaders program and other employee-focused offerings, Softway is helping thousands of leaders spanning over forty-six countries transform their businesses by putting love to work. https://www.linkedin.com/in/manwarsoftway/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrispitre/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyfma/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankdanna/ Please consider supporting the HCI Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=69688020.
