Blurred Lines of Employee Management in a Franchise Relationship

"While most measure success purely in terms of financial gain, I measure business success on a balance of work and life. The happier I am in and outside of work, the higher the success rate I feel I have achieved. It’s also important for me to share the pathway to that balance with other members of my organization so that they can experience it and help my business grow." - Jason Leverant, president & COO, AtWork Group
