What does it really take to build an inspired workforce—one where people feel respected, included, and empowered to do their best work? In this episode, Rebecca Dhrimaj sits down with Gary Peterson and Nermana Kuzmanovic of O.C. Tanner to explore how intentional human connection fuels employee engagement and lasting cultural transformation. Through personal stories, practical examples, and candid leadership insights, they unpack why respect isn’t just a value—it’s a daily practice—and how small, meaningful actions can unlock extraordinary human potential at work.
