Delta Air Lines' Allison Ausband on people-first culture & business success

Delta Air Lines has been making headlines in recent years—and not just for ranking high in customer service and passenger satisfaction. In this episode of Better by Great Place To Work, we explore the incredible transformation at Delta, especially its meteoric rise on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list from No. 94 to No. 15 in just one year.

Allison Ausband, Delta's executive vice president & chief people officer, takes listeners on a journey through the evolution of Delta’s people-first culture, its ripple effects on business success, and the actionable strategies that can inspire organizations of any size to prioritize their people.

Ausband began her career as a flight attendant and now leads the charge in creating a workplace where employees feel valued, heard, and supported. “If our people know they matter,” she says, “they’ll serve our customers extremely well — and that drives business success.”
