Quotes:

“We're not going back [to pre-pandemic times], we're going forward. Organizations really need to take that in. There are going to be higher expenses for salaries, which are going to result in higher expenses for taxes and other things. We have to do it though . . . if we want to remain competitive as organizations.”

“I'm gonna talk directly to employers right now. You all have core values, mission, a vision, pillars of excellence, whatever. Look at them, study them, read them, reflect on if those are what you actually are in reality. . . . [because] if you're not doing that stuff, people notice.”
