Knot Springs

Since the pandemic, Knot Springs employees have been experiencing high levels of burnout and disengagement from their jobs. Turnover numbers and sick days were at an all time high. With the employees feeling low morale, they were also highly disconnected from one another. 

Knot Springs management was excited to bring Jordan on as an opportunity to support the overall health and wellbeing of their employees with the hopes of rebuilding morale and community amongst their teams.
