According to Tom, “Optimizing staff and team performance at every level of an organization
truly excites me, as I love creating cutting edge techniques and award-winning approaches to
team building. I focus on the genuine nature of employee engagement. If it's not personal, it's not authentic. 1/5th of employees are looking for other jobs while theyt're at work. They're disengaged. Take some information that CEO's, CFO's, CHRO's - they can understand the benefit because their customers will be happier, employees will be happier - Learn how to develop excitement around jobs."

"At BKS, our approach to insurance is radically different. We gather our interdisciplinary team of corporate risk, employee benefits and private risk experts at one table. Rather than look at your coverage needs in separate silos labeled “business” or “personal,” we look at the entire sphere of your lifestyle, passions, profession and business ventures using our proprietary RiskMapping™ process. This gives a 360° view of your risk topography, including hidden points where your risks intersect with exposure to loss. Then we customize your BKS Holistic Protection™ to give you optimal coverage for all areas of your life.  Ensure your protection is as distinctive as you are."
