The Worthwhile Manifesto

• We believe that people want their careers to stand for more than a paycheck.
• We believe that everyone has the right to seek out the work life that makes them happy.
• We believe that people shouldn't have to check their personal values at the office door; instead those values should match their work environment.

• We believe that companies play a growing role in our society; they should be a force for good.
• We believe there is a spirit of each business that shines into communities, employees and customers. That spirit can be as positive (or negative) as the leaders choose to make it.
• We ardently believe in capitalism. Profitability drives possibilities.

• People want to connect to a company. Finding that sense of community leads to more fulfilling work.
• Organizations with a strong mission attract people who work harder and smarter simply because they love being there. The result: the productivity companies crave, achieved humanely.
• The "soft stuff," as it's sometimes derided, is as important as technology investment or financial structuring. When companies and individuals get it right, the power is remarkable.
• You can change your company into a place that will attract people you want as teammates.
  

Remember when we were kids? Long before we dreamed of falling in love or hitting a hole-in-one, we dreamed about what we wanted to be when we grew up. The whole concept of work fueled our play. And even though we couldn't articulate it at the time, those childhood dreams--to be doctors, teachers, astronauts or artists--almost always involved leaving a mark on the world. Yet, this most basic human desire has been almost completely overlooked by existing media. Into this void comes Worthwhile.


Anita Sharpe and Kevin Salwen, both veterans of The Wall Street Journal, came up with the idea for Worthwhile after observing that they, and many of the people they knew, were vitally interested in their careers - but were not captivated by most traditional business media. They recognized that business is one of the most - if not the most - powerful force in society today. Business has the capacity to change the world. So Salwen and Sharpe created a media company that puts purpose and passion on the same plane as profit, and targets a community of people who want to make a difference as they make a living.
