\"Ping…although we do have one, (and it’s really great)<\/p>\n

Fibernetics, Worldline’s parent company, was profiled in Canadian Business Magazine about\u00a0the culture change the company went through last year, and the impact it had on management, the employees and the business.<\/p>\n

This is the money quote from Fibernetics President John Stix<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The company has hit new sales records each month since the corporate relaunch, and customer complaints are at an all-time low, Stix says. HR concerns have dropped by 70%. This quarter alone, Fibernetics\u2019 looks set to grow by 50%, Stix says. <\/span><\/p>\n

The workplace culture initiative that John introduced last year is having a remarkable impact on the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
