Plano Pulse: Practicing Mendomi with the Toyota D+I Consulting Team
In this episode of Plano Pulse, our hosts Kelle Marsalis (President & CEO) and Katie Gimenez (Director of Marketing and Communications) sat down with Toyota North America's D+I Consulting Team to learn about the concept of mendomi. Mendomi is a Japanese word that means to share care and concern for people as if they are your family members. Our guests, Sandra Carus, ShaQuana Newsom, and Tatsumi Paredes, will explain how they incorporate mendomi into their work and how this simple but powerful practice can make a big difference in the culture at businesses of all sizes.
