Is Your Company Trying To Save The World?
How would you like to work in one of the top ranked places to work and also save the rain forest at the same time? Well if you worked at Rainforest Alliance, you’d have hit both those requirements.
Rainforest Alliance was named one of the Top Small Workplaces 2008 by the Wall Street Journal. Why is it so great? “We encourage them to come up with good ideas and implement them,” says Tensie Whelan, Rainforest Alliance’s executive director. “Then [others] see that success and they want to do it, too.” In the last 5 years the number of staff have doubled. RA gives junior employees the ability to spearhead research. Also you don’t have to worry about being stuck with a boring administrative job. “There aren’t any jobs that are strictly administrative,” Ms. Baroody says.
What’s more important to you, working in a fun place or somewhere that’s helping make the world a better place?
