On this episode, Amy Parker, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Chief Learning Officer, is joined by Dr. Maureen Marks, the Executive Director for VA’s National Center for Organization Development (NCOD) and Billy McCloskey, a Senior Organizational Psychologist at NCOD.

During this episode, Dr. Marks and Mr. McCloskey discuss the importance of bringing your whole self to work and the need to support your staff and peers at every level to improve employee morale and ultimately, improve service for our nation’s Veterans. Listeners will learn about the five key drivers of employee engagement, be inspired by success stories from the field, and uncover unexpected impacts of remote work on employee productivity and morale.
