Hello and welcome to tHRive at work! Today we are discussing the topic of "Ethical and Responsible Business Practices within an Organisation", with Jo Lord, Founder of Byen LTD - a business that works with other progressive business founders and their teams, to help navigate the path to a more socially and environmentally responsible business.
We wanted to delve into this very relevant and current topic as many leaders are in a transitional phase, shifting their business model to consider all stakeholders in a more people and purpose focused way.
As always, resources mentioned throughout as well as Jo's contact details are listed below for further guidance or to contact Jo directly!
