Oakes named editor of Quartz at Work

Anna Oakes

Anna Oakes has been named the editor of Quartz at Work, which covers workplace issues.

She had been its chief people office.

Oakes writes, “Quartz has long known that to make business better, we need to support the world of work with guidance and resources. To do that better, we’re enhancing our approach to service journalism that creates change for employees, leaders, and organizations. This means more tactical advice, tools, and resources to design the modern workplace. In addition, our weekly newsletter will continue to take unique looks at the topics of today’s workforce–from menopause benefits to our inability to prioritize, from wellbeing to resolving conflict.

“As I take on this new position, I’m reminded that to drill large holes in reservoir rocks, scientists found that using multiple lasers from numerous directions was more effective than one large laser focused on a single spot. This role is my chance at attacking workplace issues from a new angle. But I can’t do it alone.”
