In this episode of the Business Builders Show, guest host Kelly Hoey leads the conversation with Julie Elberfeld, SVP, Card Technology and Executive Sponsor of Diversity and Inclusion for Technology at Capital One about a new survey conducted by Capital One focusing on the success of women executives in tech. This is not the usual “women in tech” survey. As Julie shares with Kelly and host, Marty Wolff, this new survey flips the focus of the conversation away from the myriad of reasons why women leave tech to reflect on the success of women (like Julie) who have climbed the tech ladder.

From natural light to trash cans! In this second interview with Stefanie Spurlin, Vice President of Workplace Solutions at Capital One, we dive deeper into the findings of the 2019 Work Environment Survey exploring the importance of natural light (as guess what! natural light is the most requested design element by employees and connections to nature in the workplace can improve employee well-being), how mental health and well-being has risen to top of workplace survey plus other top office perks. The information may just surprise you. In this episode, you’ll also learn why Stefanie’s team at Capital One took away individual trash cans – initially as a tactic to support and centralize the company’s recycling efforts, but there were other unintended positive benefits to the disruption of individual employee trash habits too!
