Best Workplaces, Caring , Employee Experience
Catherine Avenda帽o is 础蝉补苍补鈥檚 head of employee communications & experience. Last year, she had an experience that left her speechless.
Catherine was on a Zoom meeting with colleagues, giving a 鈥渃heck-in鈥� on how she was doing. She mentioned that it was the six-month anniversary of the death of her partner. 鈥淚 started to weep,鈥� she recalls. She turned off her camera. But her grief came with a silver lining of comfort. Fellow 鈥淎sanas鈥� reached out to her, sending love and telling her to take the time she needed to process the pain.
The incident captures the way the collaboration software maker has kept people connected and cared for during a difficult year. Amid a challenging 2020, Asana racked up awards for its culture. The San Francisco-based company ranked #2 on our Best Small & Medium Workplaces鈩� list, and among small and medium workplaces, they鈥檙e #1 on Best Workplaces in Technology鈩�, #1 on Best Workplaces for Millennials鈩� and #1 on Best Workplaces in the Bay Area鈩�.
In this session of Work in Progress, we speak to Catherine about how 础蝉补苍补鈥檚 culture of trust, transparency and authenticity has helped deepen camaraderie and empathy.
