Workplaces are ever-changing. At corporations with hundreds of employees, workers are hired and fired each day. Turnover is much more noticeable at small companies, though. Hiring the right person can make a huge difference. Having someone who gets along well with everyone can change the workplace. Adding a boss who really listens to their employees and empowers them can also be a total game-changer. The power of people who really care about their work is a force to be reckoned with.
