In this episode, Vibe Check’s host Brett Martin sits down with Karen Mangia to discuss how Salesforce manages its work from home strategy. As the leader of Salesforce’s Work from Home Taskforce, Karen Mangia helps over 50,000 employees worldwide adapt to a work-from-anywhere environment. Karen prioritizes spending time with current and future customers, as their perspectives directly influence the product Salesforce builds and the market lessons shared to the greater community.

Since most customers struggle with connection and effective operation when apart, Karen designed a system to put power in the hands of the teams to determine their own remote work schedules. Karen’s research delves deep into employees’ performance when they have flexibility, autonomy, and choice. She also discusses the balance between synchronous and asynchronous work and the four key pillars comprising the future of work. Ultimately Karen leaves listeners with advice on how to create a more equitable workplace, centered on getting curious about people.

Karen Mangia, Vice President of Customer and Market Insights at Salesforce, is a future of work expert. Fueled by her passion for diversity and inclusion, she leads the company’s Work from Home Taskforce and serves on the Racial Equality and Justice Taskforce. Karen is also a WSJ bestselling author, has been featured in Forbes, and regularly contributes to Thrive Global, Authority Magazine, and ZDNet.

Brett Martin, an entrepreneur, leader, and investor in the future of work, who serves as the Cofounder of Kumospace, General Partner at Charge Ventures, and Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
