Hello, Quartz Index readers!

There’s a zone we all get to when we’re doing our best work. It can be focused and exhilarating.

Quartz launched a new edition, Quartz at Work, this week to help you find that place as much as you can, acknowledging that for many of us, work can be a source of both pride and stress, as well as an important part of our identity.

Quartz at Work is a guide to building your career, being a better manager, and navigating the modern workplace. Each day you’ll find new stories about the topics we’re most obsessed with, including:

  • The delicate art of managing others
  • Tools and approaches for increasing productivity and tapping in to creativity
  • The progress being made (or not) in workplace inclusion efforts
  • The design of organizations
  • How to be a high achiever and still have a rich personal and family life

We’ve assembled a dedicated team of journalists to bring you the most interesting ideas and practices from around the world. You can follow their work on Quartz and on Twitter at @QuartzAtWork. We also invite you to join Manage It, a new Facebook Group where Quartz reporters, editors, and readers are sharing questions and tips about being a modern manager.

We know Quartz readers are international, ascendant business professionals. Our observation is that you’re not fully served by most management coverage out there today—it’s mostly too traditional or else not sophisticated enough. We created Quartz at Work to fill that gap. We welcome any ideas or feedback you have along the way (hi@qz.com). And we thank you for your readership. —Quartz at Work editorial staff
