Rob & I discuss how WorkTango's software platform is creating real-time connection and empathy with employees that is transforming how we do business.   We chat about numerous topics:

• Using machine learning & sentiments to give a voice to employees
• How Human Resources (HR) is evolving - 
• Companies are being to treating employees as consumers
• The art of getting Known - Liked - Trusted
• And much much more….
