Exploring What it Means to Work Better.
What started as an intrapreneurial experiment grew into a high-impact, experience-driven event series with talks, panels, and workshops on everything from generational decision-making to unconscious bias and navigating organizational change. From 2017 to 2019, Work Better Day brought together bold thinkers, curious minds, and forward-looking leaders to explore a simple but powerful question: What does it really mean to work better?
This series sparked the same ethos behind today’s Work Better Consulting, and its legacy continues in every conversation we help lead.
Today, we translate deep insights into strategic systemic change. By moving beyond surface-level fixes, we help organizations improve performance by designing workplaces grounded in the belief that the 90,000 hours people spend at work should be better.
THE ARCHIVE
Work Better Day: A Timeline
In the beginning...
Work Better Day launched in 2017 in Washington, D.C. as a curated experiment within OPX Global to investigate the human experience within corporate structures. The events were meant to bring together leaders and visionaries to foster dialogue about human potential, systemic friction, and what it would look like to work better. What started as a simple question quickly ignited a passionate community of thinkers and leaders.

Exploration
We uncovered the crisis of disengagement, where only 13% of American employees enjoyed their work, despite spending nearly 2,500 hours a year doing it. We started the conversation.
2018
Evolution
We explored the deeper cultural and structural elements around generational decision-making. We explored how individuals and teams can make clearer, smarter decisions amidst complexity, bias, and constant change.

Influence
We dove into the rules of communication and explored all the ways we connect across generations, platforms, and perspectives, shaping every part of the work experience, from collaboration, to trust,
to retention.
