As a past Cisco employee I would have to strongly agree with this article in its entirety! Cisco has been putting their employees as a top priority for over 15 years. Back in 1999 when I joined Cisco the idea of weekly employee one on ones was a new innovative way for managers to keep abreast of their employees goals, both professionally and personally. This stuck with me as I moved away from Cisco to raise my children. From Cisco I ventured into education and became a mentor teacher utilizing many of the relationship strategies I learning at Cisco. I even carried the one on ones meetings into my personal life with my kids!thank you Cisco!
