Perhaps the most dynamic place anyone can work is a zoo. Most of us work with a somewhat diverse group of people but not many companies can compare to the diversity of a zoo that employees everyone from knowledge workers and retail professionals to animal trainers and botanists. This definitely creates some challenges especially when trying to create a unified culture that is focused on performance. To help understand how San Diego Zoo Global tackled this challenge I spoke with Tim Mulligan, the Chief Human Resources Officer.
When most people think of forward thinking organizations a zoo typically doesn't come to mind but hopefully after listening to this podcast with Tim, that will change.
Tim has been with the company for quite some time and he shares with us what it was like when he first started and what it is like now; and why he had to move the corporate culture at San Diego Zoo Global to be more focused on performance. We get an inside look at the initiatives and innovations he has implemented around performance and accountability; employee engagement; talent management; Millennials, Baby Boomers and everyone in-between. We also look at the role of technology; and the evolution of management and leadership practices at the company.
Listen in to Tim’s very unique and diverse experience that I'm sure you will definitely learn from. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. Enjoy!
