Team: Keeping Your Field Crews Engaged With the Company Culture

Does your company have a morning rollout meeting? Are you physically present for it? Engagement with your crews is crucial for fostering a great company culture. Your field crews spend most of their day out in the field and away from the office, and whether you're intentional about it or not there are sub-cultures developing within each crew. Setting the tone you want and keeping your crews engaged can be a challenge, Marty shares his ideas to help.
