APA Center for Organizational Excellence: Good Company

In the past, we've hit the streets of Washington, DC for a video segment about work and stress, hired a cab and interviewed passengers about the recession, and visited a college campus and New York City to talk to students and working Americans about work, life and job expectations.

Every job has its ups and downs. This year, to take the pulse of the workforce and hear a little more about people’s experiences at work, we went out and talked with six people from very different professions. Find out what they had to say in the introduction to our video series "Six Degrees of Bringing Home the Bacon."

What's your average stress level on the job? What motivates you to do your best work? What are the most rewarding and challenging aspects of your job? Stay tuned as we continue the series each month, with new videos that feature a dog walker, a neurosurgeon, a florist, a television news reporter, a Pilates instructor and an entrepreneur.
