Welcome to the Good Insights podcast.
The work we do–whether as students, professionals, volunteers, or family members–is a big part of how we spend our lives. At The Good Project, we have investigated the meaning of “good work” through research and believe that work should be high-quality, meaningful, and impactful.
In this podcast, we'll explore how various individuals and their organizations understand work that is excellent, ethical, and engaging. Join us as we host conversations with scholars and practitioners who will prompt us to think in new ways about work, today and in the future.
You might be a leader seeking to create a thriving work culture, or an advocate for change and social responsibility, or simply want to know how experts think about doing “good.” The Good Work podcast will provide you with new ideas and strategies to do your work well, whatever you do.
