This highlight video is from May 16, 2019 People First Culture @ Oshkosh Corporation: Engage Develop Connect

Business leaders often have a misconception that creating an environment where people feel cared for and valued will compete with business results. However, studies have shown that when people are happier at work, they are more productive.

Wilson will discuss Oshkosh’s People First culture journey that began over three years ago. He will talk about the active role he and his leadership team have played in making this transformation a priority across their business. The outcome of their work has shown that a People First philosophy is an enabler to positive business results.
