Who is Viva Glint and what makes us different?
Why Viva Glint matters: Highly engaged organizations perform better
We’ve seen time and again that engaged organizations perform better across people and business metrics.
Even in the economically turbulent year of 2022, those organizations with the most engaged employees performed twice as well financially as compared to those with the least engaged, underscoring the importance of a people-focused approach despite headwinds.
