About the Episode

The what's what...

Campus work culture matters. While a college campus can be a place that’s full of life and offers many employees such great things as shared governance, it can also mentally and physically wear its employees down, a serious threat to the employer brand. Kevin McClure has been vocal about the work culture of higher education and offers thoughts about why and how it needs to change.
