Last week I participated along with other experts from The Matcha Initiative to a program on #sustainability for members of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation.
Bringing the "S" from #ESG into life for participants was very enjoyable!
A few key take-away to enable the "Social" element in your business and bring virtuous social innovation:
** Faster and 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 require you and your #hr to partner and be more agile (the emergence of mental health, AI/technology disruption and its impact on skills, generational expectations, social branding... to name a few)
** 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 to your employees to understand better what THEY need. Aggregate their feedback to your action plans (yes, act on the feedback!)
** As 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 (irrespective of your level in the organization or the size of your company), you can instil the change you want to see: be role models (and it does not cost you anything!)
** 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: employees (and their journey from the first contact to their exit) but also partners, providers and community to positively impact the ecosystem your company operates in
** 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 small, measure your progresses, engage various stakeholders, communicate.
At the end of the day, how you treat your people and give back, with sincerity and the right engagement makes your business a virtuous and responsible one. An employer of choice, truly engaged on the #sustainability journey.
And you, what will be the action you will take to enable the "S"?
