“Employee Engagement drives Financial Performance,” said Dr. Jan G. West, Ph.D., CEO & Organizational Psychologist at NBRI. “This award is a result of Rain Bird’s dedication to measuring and improving their Employee Engagement.”
The NBRI Circle of Excellence Award recognizes organizations that place a high value on employee engagement.
