Welcome back to Social Responsibility at Work where we advocate for building workplaces where people, purpose and progress come together.

Not only are we reviving social responsibility at work, but we're also taking things to an entirely new level by integrating it in with our Call for Culture annual conference, the Culture Impact Lab - an equity centered conference for work and change leaders.

You all know we are living in a time of rapid change where work culture is being reshaped by society, generational shifts, technological advances, and the increasing demand for businesses to do more than just make profit. They're being called to create meaningful impact, and this podcast started as a platform to discuss how organizations can embrace social responsibility at work and embrace the idea of the connection, the ecosystem between workplaces and society at large.

Now, we're doubling down on those conversations because, let's face it, the stakes have not been higher, and whether we're addressing workplace equity, sustainability, mental health, or community engagement, social responsibility is no longer a nice to have its aim must have.

And so this reboot is brought to you in collaboration with the Culture Impact Lab, which is where we want to do more than just talk about these issues. We want to create a space dedicated to designing and scaling workplace cultures that prioritize integrity, compassion, teamwork and purpose.

And so here's what you can expect moving forward:

1. Actionable and practical insights from our team at Call for Culture around how teams can leaders can integrate social responsibility into their day-to-day operations

2. Real stories from organizations and individuals who are redefining what it means to do good and do well

3. Break down of current events that are sending us signals around how we can need to redefine workplace culture for the future .

Regardless of your role and spheres of influence around equity-centered work, you'll walk away with actionable steps.

And so on our first few episodes, we're going to tackle questions like:

How can businesses and organizations build cultures that support employee wellbeing without sacrificing performance?

How do we think about the wave of return to office (RTO) and what are the problems with that? And what are our predictions around what's going to happen next?

What role does DEI play in social responsibility and thinking about the next four years and a Trump administration? What do we need to see happen in order for us to continue the work?

How can small businesses create big impact in their communities? How do we connect some of this work to economic opportunity?

We’ll feature guests from across industries, leaders, innovators, advocates who are walking the talk when it comes to social responsibility at work.

And this is where you come in. This podcast is a community. It's not a monologue. And so I'd love to hear from you around what challenges are you facing? What topics do you want to explore? What do you want to hear from us? We want to continue to hear from our community and understand how we can be a voice for change for you. Email us at admin@callforculture.com with your ideas!

This generation of workplace culture is not going to last another generation, and we have that the power to ensure that it changes for the better. And so whether you're tuning it on your commute during your morning coffee or a walk, um or you're listening to us to, you know, increase your skill set and your professional development. We’re so grateful that you're here with us.

Let's build a better workplace culture together one episode at a time. See you soon!
