Want To Work There
Want To Work There is a show for those who believe a better world of work is possible— but need support in figuring out exactly how to get there. Join host Jill Felska as she explores what makes a company a great place to work, and how everyone from CEOs to individual contributors can play a part in bringing that dream to life.
If you are a busy professional who is passionate about building a better work environment, but don’t feel like you have the tools, resources, or support you need to do so, then this is the perfect show for you! Each episode we will explore a new topic related to improving the workplace, including some practical, actionable advice and resources that you can use to start implementing change within your organization or team right away.
One business acting alone can't change our societal beliefs about work, but together we can create a new normal. Are you ready to join the workplace revolution?
