  • About Us

    Books@Work builds human capacity to imagine, innovate and connect, strengthening a culture of trust, respect and inclusion – at work and in the community. In professor-led literature literature discussions, Books@Work participants challenge assumptions, share their stories, experience mutual recognition and practice critical dialogue, without judgment. Since its inception, Books@Work has successful served employees in healthcare, distribution, food services, manufacturing, high tech, telecommunications, human services, professional services, municipalities, education and non-profit, along with veterans and parents in community settings. In a typical three-month program, natural teams or cross-functional groups of colleagues meet weekly with a college professor, to explore literature (long and short fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry and more), contribute ideas drawn from their life and work experiences, and build deeper relationships.
