In each 15-minute podcast episode, they draw on the latest academic research and their years of experience advising organizations around the world and share concrete strategies to improve workplace culture. "What I'm most excited about with this podcast is that it brings together the worlds of academic research and industry practice," says Srivastava, the Ewald T. Grether Professor of Business Administration and Public Policy. "Here, we get to take a deeper dive into a specific problem raised by a specific leader and really workshop it together." The podcast is an extension of the work that Chatman and Srivastava started six years ago when they launched the Berkeley Center for Workplace Culture and Innovation to bring emerging insights from academic research to business practitioners. "With our new podcast, we hope to expand the reach of the work we've been doing through a new medium with the goal of reaching more people," says Chatman, Paul J. Cortese Distinguished Professor of Management and Berkeley Haas associate dean for academic affairs. "Business leaders can submit 'fixit tickets' laying out the topics on their minds. Our goal is to give them actionable steps they can take to improve their organization's culture." Season 1 of The Culture Kit with Jenny & Sameer launched today and includes questions from industry leaders such as WD-40 CEO Steve Brass, Hubspot CEO Yamini Rangan, and former Google SVP of People Operations Laszlo Bock. New episodes will be released every two weeks.
