Calling all Corporate Idealists: we want contributors!

Kate O'Neill — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:07:46 +0000

We’ve been live for a week and a half, and we’re really on a roll! We have exciting new features we can’t wait to debut, but meanwhile, we’re still looking for contributing writers.

Got ideas on what we should discuss? Inspired enough to write a post yourself? Leave us suggestions in the comments, or email us a sketch of your post idea.

New flickr group: Corporate Idealist

Kate O'Neill — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:26:26 +0000

Please join our flickr group, Corporate Idealist, and share your workplace photos in the pool. As we said in the group description, we want to see:

Images that represent the workplace in a fun, different, or meaningful way, or that represent alternative workplaces, or that represent alternative values at work.

Got ‘em? Share ‘em. We’ll be featuring a photo from the flickr pool regularly, so prepare yourself for superstardom!

Making it all mean something

Welcome to the inaugural post of Corporate Idealist! We’re glad to be here.

This blog exists because of people like you in the working world who appreciate business for values beyond the obvious: making money. Hey, we like making money too, but we feel better about our earnings when we’re doing something meaningful and constructive, and when we’re helping people if we can.

We also believe in the idea behind work-life balance, but we believe that our work should ideally be a reflection of us, so that our lives at work are balanced.

We think everyone’s motivations are different, and that those differences can be cultivated to make for an incredibly rich work environment.

But here’s where we want your input. This blog will be meaningless without input from you. So please, tell us: besides the paycheck you take home, what are the moments in your working life that make everything more worthwhile?
