As technologies advance, companies collect more data and the trust consumers once had for those companies wanes, new laws surrounding consumer privacy are going into effect, constantly changing the way businesses learn about and sell to their customers. Such laws would put customers back in the driver’s seat, giving them control over what data they would like to share and when.

Researcher, author and speaker Brené Brown once said, “Daring leaders work to make sure people can be themselves and feel a sense of belonging.” When employees have the freedom to let their personalities shine and foster a connection to the company and their peers, what often follows is a strong sense of team loyalty and passion for their work.
