Celebrating the people-first cultures and purpose-filled pit stops of organizations going the extra mile.
It’s National Road Trip Day! The unofficial start to summer and a nod to the freedom of the open road. With 80% of Americans planning a road trip this summer (according to The Vacationer), there’s something uniquely energizing about hitting the highway with purpose, curiosity, and good company.
And when it comes to workplace culture, we think the best companies are like a great road trip:
You feel safe and supported.
There’s a clear destination (but you enjoy the ride).
You learn, grow, and maybe even change along the way.
And you always remember who shared the journey with you.
So, in honor of today’s #FunFriday, here are a few mission-driven organizations where working there feels like being on a meaningful journey with the kind of culture that keeps you buckled in and excited for every mile ahead:
