Oakes named editor of Quartz at Work

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.
