March 2017
The March issue cover story introduces the reader to leaders who have made corporate social responsibility an integral part of their business operations and whose examples will offer inspiration to help others advance their firm’s CSR programs. By the Numbers looks at the metrics associated with Mexico-Arizona trade and our state’s economy. An HR feature explores a trending new approach to the annual performance review. Leadership is the topic for this issue’s Roundtable feature, with tips culled from the examples of some of our nation’s most revered leaders — the Founding Fathers. With flu season upon us, businesses will find useful suggestions for minimizing flu’s impact on their workforce in the article on this issue’s Healthcare page. And for the annual Arizona Gives Day (April 4), a concerted fundraising push in support of nonprofits statewide, In Business Magazine in partnership with Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits provides its Giving Guide of all participating organizations.
