As we embark on a New Year and reflect on the past, it’s clear there have been drastic changes to the way we work and to the world of work as a whole. While much of those changes have moved us and the workplace forward – these same changes have also left many of us feeling isolated, depressed, and more anxious than we were 12 months ago. When you think about how much of your life you spend working or thinking about work – it begs the question: Shouldn’t work mean more than just a paycheck? We believe the future of work is a world where your work not only inspires you to give your best every day, but also pushes you to be the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential. So today, we kick off 2021 with a discussion about how we can cultivate that future together.
