Will Rogers is often credited with saying, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” Author Ariana Bianchi writes, “First impressions of your workplace, and your employees, can have a significant impact on the success of your business.” Image may not be everything, but it speaks volumes about your organization’s values, achievements, work ethic, and professionalism.
