When is it right for companies to take a public stand on social issues? We explore what it means to be a social enterprise, one whose mission combines revenue growth and profit-making with respect and support for a broader community of stakeholders. Our guest, Gideon Maltz, executive director of Tent Partnership for Refugees, discusses how companies can effectively combine social and business purpose, leveraging their core business to make a much bigger impact than financial support alone can make.

This new world of work requires business leaders and HR professionals to learn and lead differently. To move from a business enterprise focus to a social enterprise mind-set. To become the best citizens we can be, both inside and outside of the organization. It’s not a question of choosing shareholder value or stakeholder value, it’s about both. Because the talent we seek to hire and keep on board and the customers we pursue in the marketplace demand it.
