London | Building a Team for a Better World
Thursday, November 28 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
28th November 2024 10.30 – 12.30, Building a Team for a Better World
This is an intimate and invite only Catalyst Conversation.
If you are a tier three or above BBN Member and fancy coming down, or you would just simply love to get involved, please get in contact with our Community Manager James at james@thebetterbusiness.network and we’ll see what we can do!
What’s the session about?
The session will talk through two things that are key to building a team for a better world and are crucially important when assessing the positive impact your company can have:
How to hire: how can a purpose-driven organisation effectively and ethically recruit the right people that align with the values and mission of the business. Discussing where to look for the right candidates, how to assess candidates, how to ensure the process is ethical and fair considering the progressive EDI aims + values of your organisation.
How to retain: how can and should a purpose-driven organisation operate and support it’s employees. We will discuss topics such as what employee benefits should you offer, how to build a fair and respectful workplace culture, best practice on people management skills.
What are catalyst conversations?
Similar to a roundtable, catalyst conversations split attendees into groups of 6 people to discuss the topic, the challenges businesses face when trying to build a team for a better world, and the opportunities to have a greater positive impact. This provides a peer learning opportunity as well as final next steps action points from all attendees.
During the session, we take notes and use these to write up insights that are shared amongst our Members and the wider business community, and will ultimately be pulled into an Industry Report and published.
The idea is to leverage the experience and expertise of those in the room and pass on actionable advice that can help others make a greater positive impact, hopefully causing those ripples of change!
What’s the schedule?
We’re running this session for 2 hours, between 10.30 and 12.30 (with a coffee break in the middle!). This catalyst conversation is intentionally scheduled on the same day as our Better Business Breakfast Networking session, so attendees can come in and get some coffee, fruit and pastries and make some valuable connections with other like-minded businesses.
