Work Made Human Podcast: Jill & Ramel
Welcome to another episode of Work Made Human, a BAM podcast exploring what it takes to build workplaces where people can be human.
In this episode, BAM’s Head of People, Jill Veglahn, is joined by Senior Community Manager Ramel Wallace, stepping in for Nichole Mendez, to explore the evolving role of community and trust at work.
Together, they discuss why community isn’t simply a place, it’s a practice rooted in shared values, trust, autonomy, psychological safety, and belonging. They also examine how vulnerability and shared language can strengthen workplace relationships and create a ripple effect beyond the office.
Listen in for a thoughtful conversation about building organizations where people feel safe, seen, heard, and valued.
