UK&I Managing Director Tom Way tells SIA’s The Staffing Stream that managers need to re-think how they relate to their teams

This has been a defining year for the world of work. The ongoing health crisis has challenged organisations worldwide to reimage their operations and pioneer a revolution in people management – the trust revolution.
