In this episode I discuss with Karese Laguerre RDH, COMP, MAS and Christopher Williams RDH, the importance of creating and cultivating a positive work culture, so as to attract and retain team members throughout various industries. We delve into how imperative it is to create a diverse environment that supports all team members and the patients or clients that we serve.
