When I say the words workplace environment, where does your mind go?
If you're like most people, you might think about an environment like this.
Or like this.
Hi.
What can I get for you today?
Maybe even something like this.
Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
What you probably don't think about when I say workplace environment is this.
But if you are one of the roughly 2000 men who play in the National Football League, that's your office.
I mean, it's business.
Like, let's not get it wrong.
It's business.
The NFL Players association, or NFL PA, is the union that represents the players, and they recently conducted their first ever employee survey about workplace conditions.
I would never have thought to ask, are there rats in your locker room?
And they gave letter grades to each of the league's 32 teams.
This is really about are we giving you the inputs you need to be as productive as possible?
The NFL is the richest and most successful sports league in history.
Each team is worth at least $4 billion.
Nobody wants to be known as the cheapskate.
Before, when it was rumored you were the cheapskate, it was harder to prove.
