Social Responsibility at Work

The future of work is HERE!

    A New Chapter

    Hello! Angela here - the host of the Social Responsibility at Work podcast.  I know it’s been a while, and you’re probably wondering where we’ve been! The Social Responsibility at Work podcast has been integral to our growth (and my growth) over the last 3 years. So it might be surprising to hear: we've made the decision to retire it.  This decision was not made lightly, and it comes with mixed emotions as we reflect on the insightful and impactful conversations our show has produced.  It’s amazing to think back at what one podcast inspired during the COVID Pandemic led to:  > +100 episodes about workplace culture with a variety of guests, thought leaders, and experts that made us realize this discipline needs wider representation and more diversity of thought  > The start to a broader exploration about the role of employers and employees in creating a world we want to live in, and a blurring of the lines between culture at work and culture in the world at large  > A hard conversation, practice in accountability and title pivot > The beginnings of a rebrand, which has continued to show us the company we want to become, the work we want to be doing, and the experiences we want to create > The realization that our role in changing the way we all work, is to actually extend far beyond the “walls” of the workplace The good news: all episodes will remain an active library of valuable content for you to consume at any time — you’ll be able to access the Social Responsibility at Work podcast through our website, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere podcasts are streamed, indefinitely. We just won’t be recording any new episodes.  Our team is still envisioning exactly what our audio content will look like moving forward, but one thing we know for sure is that it’ll emerge from the Culture Impact Lab — our in-person experience taking place in Chicago, IL May 15-16, 2024.  The only thing better than listening in on the conversations happening at this experience through recorded audio?  Being there in person: join the waitlist now, and be a part of this conversation with us.  https://callforculture.com/culture-impact-lab --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialresponsibilityatwork/support

Howard, an accomplished CEO, and LaTonya Wilkins, the visionary Founder of Change Coaches and author of "Leading Below the Surface."

In this engaging session, Angela and LaTonya dissect the intricate fabric of DEIB, sharing four prominent trends that are shaping the landscape today. From Angela's perspective, they explore the myth that success necessitates constant addition, unveiling the lack of strategy and operational focus that hinders progress.

    Work-Life Bloom with Dan Pontefract

    In this thought-provoking and empowering podcast episode we chat with Dan Pontefract about inspiring leaders to take a fresh look at a new coalescence between work and life. In Dan's upcoming book, Work-Life Bloom: How to Nurture a Team That Flourishes, he takes a dive into integrating professional and personal lives. Just as a flower needs the right mix of sunlight, water, and nutrients to grow and thrive, team members need the right mix of work-life factors to create a fulfilling and harmonious existence. Through primary global research, interviews, and personal experience, Pontefract delves into the current state of work and life, offering practical solutions for leaders and organizations to create environments where teams can flourish. There really is no such thing as work-life balance: our rigid attempts to achieve it don’t reflect current realities and are, in fact leading us to further burnout, stress, and unhappiness. Instead, he encourages a more holistic approach, promoting the idea of “blooming” in both work and life. Pontefract stresses that for people to succeed, they must reach fulfillment through the integration of work and the personal aspects of life. After all, people bring their work into their lives and their lives into their work; an improved integration is necessary. Thanks Dan for your insights and for sharing with us your ground-breaking work.
