Innovation

We empower employees to pitch new ideas that drive our vision forward. This includes a dedicated team focused on the implementation of strategic initiatives across the organization to foster continuous idea sharing.

Hack Day

A biannual Hack Day event provides a forum for employees to present solutions to company leaders, aiming to improve efficiency and promote business growth. Hack Day has generated hundreds of new ideas, including many that have become a reality. 

One example is The B-Side, an email and social-only product designed to inform and entertain a new generation of Bostonians. The concept was introduced by a cross-functional team at Hack Day in 2022 and was so well-received by leadership that it was launched a year later.

At Boston Globe Media, we take pride in cultivating a workplace culture that encourages creative thinking, collaboration, experimentation, and learning. In 2023, we were honored to be recognized by Fast Company on their list of the Best Workplaces for Innovators.
