The boss of a large corporation dons a disguise to get honest feedback from employees about what’s really going on in the company. Employees think that cameras are filming because the undercover boss is part of some kind of contest. Millions tune in to the hit CBS reality show Undercover Boss. Many may wonder, “Do the unsuspecting employees really not know?” and, “Even with the disguise, why don't they recognize the CEO of their organization?” It begs the question: How undercover is Undercover Boss?

Learn how company culture can increase productivity and profitability

The Emmy-winning CBS network reality series Undercover Boss is one of the most popular shows on television. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a program where CEOs of medium and large corporations go in disguise as low-level employees at their own companies to find what’s really going on in their businesses. Along the way, they meet and are touched by the real employees who are helping (or sometimes not helping) the companies stay successful.

Live tweeting and posting aren’t for the faint of heart

Managing your company’s social media accounts can be a rewarding experience. If you don’t have a team available within your company to develop and promote content, hiring a public relations firm is a reliable solution to ensure you’re using quality content and providing active engagement to reach your customers. In some instances though, it isn’t just recommended that you use a PR firm; it’s critical.

Even Saturday Night Live is getting into the Undercover Boss excitement.

Saturday Night Live kicked off its first episode of 2016 with an Undercover Boss comedy sketch. The sketch featured master of the Knights of Ren, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, going on Undercover Boss as “Matt, a radar technician at Starkiller Base.”

Appearing in the skit intro is Shoppers World’s CEO Sam Dushey, who went undercover on the Jan. 3 Undercover Boss episode. Axia Public Relations facilitated Sam’s Undercover Boss appearance, and we can help you get on Undercover Boss too.

As we turn the calendar to 2016, there are four things we’re very excited to share with you.
