Audible, Olly and Little Spoon are among the winners for the 2025 Greater Good Awards

"The program, which earned Audible this year's award for Education, gives local students over 700 hours of workplace immersion, pairing them with professionals across fields like engineering, law and marketing while earning school credit. Results show striking outcomes: every participant gains college acceptance, and nearly all graduate, far surpassing national averages. By combining academic partnerships with hands-on experience, Audible has created a model that strengthens career readiness and expands opportunities for underserved youth."

"Olly became one of the first U.S. companies to introduce a comprehensive menopause policy, offering flexible schedules, hybrid work options, quiet wellness rooms and coverage for hormone therapy. The initiative secured Olly the Wellness award this year, and was shaped by employee feedback and championed by CEO Hanneke Willenborg to address a gap in workplace wellness where most employers provide no menopause support. Backed by training and communication tools to normalize conversations, the policy has seen strong engagement through Carrot Fertility benefits and national recognition."
