“The support at Workrise inspires me to be proud of who I am, where I’m from, and what makes me…me.” We are so fortunate to have people like Monica bring their full selves to work week in and week out. Thank you to Monica and everyone in the R.I.S.E. (Respect. Inclusion. Support. Empowerment.) ERG for all the incredible work you do to make Workrise not just inclusive but an empowering place to work. In Monica’s words, “Workrise has enabled me to take ownership, collaborate, and take on new challenges. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and I’m proud to be part of R.I.S.E. to celebrate my Cambodian heritage and embrace my culture.”
If you've been watching the news, it's easy to think uncertainty is the theme of the day. And in many ways, it's true. Add to that shareholder expectations, and our clients have some seriously choppy waters to navigate this year. But as Adam Hirschfeld points out in his latest piece, all is not lost! There is juice to squeeze in 2024; things that are under the control of the operator - unlike the whims of foreign leaders and markets - which can be leveraged to improve their bottom line.
Directors like Lizz don’t come along every day. So when you are fortunate enough to have leaders like this, it’s meaningful to pause and reflect on their contribution. “At Workrise, I feel immensely supported by the organization's commitment to collaboration and growth. This support has empowered me to build valuable partnerships and contribute meaningfully to our mission. The trust they’ve given me to grow our research team underscores the importance of diverse leadership and teamwork.” It’s Women’s History Month, which is a cause worth celebrating. At the same time, we don’t need an excuse to recognize our best. Lizz’s achievements inspire us all to reach for new heights and embrace new opportunities that come our way. #togetherwerise
“Workrise seeks diverse talent from different backgrounds. Through initiatives like ERGs, we foster an inclusive environment where people feel seen.” For Chanel Alderman, ERG leadership has been a way to get more involved and build valuable new relationships. “As Co-Chair of our R.I.S.E. ERG, which stands for RESPECT. INCLUSION. SUPPORT. EMPOWERMENT; I help champion diversity, advocate for inclusivity, and help organize events that contribute to Workrise being welcoming for all.” This work - creating an equitable and inclusive environment for all - matters every month of the year. And we are lucky to have people like Chanel moving the needle on our culture"
