Could have not said it better Paul Hargreaves ......'This is why businesses must be better and embrace sustainability. It is why young people like Gracie come and work for us. And if your business wants to attract the talent from Gen Z and Gen Alpha then you will probably have to be better than you are now.' Data repeatedly shows that this desire to align your working life with your own sustainability values is not just linked to the younger generations. Your sustainability strategy is your secret weapon to attract and retain talent whilst also driving higher engagement and productivity amongst your employees. Not to mention engaging your employees helps to meet your sustainability goals which will make your CSO happy. Have you woven your sustainability strategy tightly with your employee engagement strategy? Or does it make more sporadic appearances.....a one slider in the onboarding deck....a poster in the cafeteria...an event on Earth Day? Why don't you ask your employees in the next employee engagement strategy? See whether they are clear on your strategy and what role they might have in helping meet your targets. And if you need some tips on how to start engaging your employees check out Halo by Design to see our top 7 opportunities for employee engagement. #greenhr #employeeengagement #sustainabilitystrategy

Do you have a no D!£%head policy? Turns out it’s good for business. Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to the Chair of the Welsh Rugby Union Richard Collier-Keywood talk eloquently about the important Welsh cultural asset he is now responsible for and the need for it to serve all stakeholders i.e. benefit society beyond the bottom line. In business it’s known as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) which emerged as a concept in the 1960s. Back then it was seen as an altruistic means of doing more with a business than just making money, but it was assumed it would involve sacrificing profit to achieve it. The growing evidence shows this is not the case. Being environmentally responsible, inclusive and serving of all stakeholders (customers, employees, investors, the environment and wider society) builds a strong brand, customer engagement, profit and also investment opportunities. The All Blacks have an NDH (No D!£%head) policy. They clean their own dressing rooms, carry their own bags and essentially show humility, accountability and a recognition of all the stakeholders in their organisation. For me, corporate social responsibility boils down to common sense, respect and humility. It’s good to see those leading our national game going forward aspire to the same ethos. And at a time of such high attrition in business in general, would it not be best to have a smart business model that ensures that everyone in the eco system is incentivised to see the venture succeed?
