Clint Pulver, the Undercover Millennial, interviewed 10,000 employees to find out what makes for a great work environment. He learned that wage isn't the only thing keeping an employee happy, and that employee retention is driven mostly by leadership, mentorship, and opportunities for growth and recognition. Clint will discuss his research and how it can help owners and managers find and retain top-notch booksellers. Clint's book, I Love It Here: How Great Leaders Create Organizations Their People Never Want to Leave, comes out April 13th from Page Two Books.
