Corporate Changemakers Series
January 15, 2020
At a Glance
The Changemakers series is produced as part of JFF’s Corporate Action Platform, which features stories of Impact Employers.
This series tells the stories of people at the center of a growing movement that’s reshaping the way companies invest in the well-being and advancement of their workers.
Who are the Changemakers? They are corporate visionaries who are stepping up and stepping out to do something extraordinary. The Changemakers are passionate about their companies and intuitively see how their businesses can positively impact the lives of employees and their communities. They combine a business sense with human empathy to create opportunities for others to improve their lives while also achieving the company’s business objectives. They want to make the world a better place to live and work.
We invite you to meet the Changemakers and to help us celebrate and support their collective efforts.
