Most of us understand that the best companies achieve rapid and profitable growth, and do so by focusing far beyond the bottom line. The best companies excel in every area throughout the workplace and are fully committed to its most important asset – its workforce. Wayne Clarke is a founding partner of the Global Growth Institute based out of the UK/Netherlands. He was formerly the international partner of the advisory arm of Best Companies, who produce the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies list, following 10 years in industry at Deloitte and BDO.
