OAKLAND, Calif., June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place to Work®, the global authority on high trust workplace culture, recently unveiled Better™, a new podcast series of interviews with some of the best leaders in business.

In the third episode, Nancy Vitale, the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Genentech, explains how the company's culture starts with its patients. A leading company in biotech and pharma, Genentech has created a winning workplace by having a clarity of mission, which is to deliver life-saving drugs to millions of people around the world.
