💸Beyond the Paycheck: Elton Mayo's People-First Approach

Elton Mayo, the guy behind the famous Hawthorne Studies, taught us a valuable lesson: Employee productivity is about more than just money. He showed that things like social connections at work, positive morale, and feeling like you belong to something important are crucial for top-notch performance.

Want a more productive team? Take a page from Elton Mayo's book! His research showed that focusing on people is essential. Think supportive managers, strong team dynamics, and creating a sense of belonging.

📃Building an Empowered Workforce: Lessons from the TSOW Community
