How do you build a workplace people don’t want to leave?
In this episode of Heliona Insight, we sat down with Jon Hile, Executive Director of the Kansas City Public Schools Education Foundation, to explore what mission-driven organizations can teach the private sector about engagement, retention, and trust.
With a background spanning public education, social impact, and systems leadership, Jon shares how values-based decision-making, community-centered strategy, and long-term thinking have shaped how he leads. We also discuss why purpose—not just perks—keeps people connected, and how clarity of mission can be a powerful tool for culture.
If you’re in the business of building great teams, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to rethink what makes people stay.
