The Purpose of Employee Development

Episode notes

Employee development may be more important than ever in today’s changing job market. Employee development is mutually beneficial for both employees and businesses as employees improve existing competencies and develop new skills while supporting the goals of business and filling skill gaps. We are talking with our guest Christina Rossini about some of the employee development initiatives happening at her company. Christina graduated from University of Oklahoma before returning home to Dallas for a B2B sales career in the telecom industry. After ten years of serving small and mid-sized companies’ IT departments, she left the corporate world and spent the next five years running two start-ups: first, importing and distributing specialty Mexican coffee, and later re-launching her family’s electrical contracting business, R Squared Electric. In 2023, she joined commercial interior design firm Go Studio as its inaugural Chief of Staff, supporting business operations and company strategy. Christina is former chair of Conscious Capitalism Dallas, a member of Vistage, and serves on the advisory council for St. Cecilia Catholic School in Dallas.
