New Season Of The Greenhouse Podcast: People-First Is Now Live

Greenhouse CPO Donald Knight speaks with innovative leaders at Kickstarter, Uber, WPP and more, to discover how companies should prioritize their people

NEW YORK, June 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new season of The Greenhouse Podcast: People-first is now available. Hosted by Greenhouse Chief People Officer Donald Knight, the 8-episode season celebrates diversity as the key to fostering creativity and improving business performance, as well as spurring innovation and creating positive social good.

The new podcast series features executives and people leaders from forward-thinking organizations like Kickstarter, Uber, WPP, SoundExchange, Artsy and others which prioritize their people and foster a culture of hiring. People-first companies understand that their employees are their most valuable asset, so they treat all their people practices – especially hiring – as strategic, rather than administrative, functions. 

"We're celebrating the work of leaders dedicated to building a people-first culture in their companies. Listen to the interviews in this series to get practical, sustainable strategies you can use to start making your own company more people-first from some of the most forward-thinking business leaders." – Donald Knight, CPO at Greenhouse

It's vital companies pay attention to their culture, starting with hiring. A recent Greenhouse Candidate Interview and Employer Brand Report revealed:

• When considering a role, the large majority of candidates (92%) believe a healthy, diverse and inclusive company culture is integral
• Almost 9 in every 10 respondents mentioned the importance of interviewers highlighting a company's values and culture during the interview process

In this podcast season, Donald and guests dig into the most pressing business and workplace topics of the day. Tune in to hear:

• How to build and sustain a culture of belonging
• Inspiring stories of overcoming hiring and retention challenges
