OBA RESOURCES FOR WORK THAT WORKS

Work that Works is more than just talking about what works well in some workplaces. It is also about the “how.” This means providing tangible resources to help the profession reimagine their workplaces.

Resources that complement the discussions we have on the Work that Works podcast are available here to help guide you in your own efforts in building better, more modern, healthy, where lawyers can thrive.
