#4 - Katie Aitken-McDermott - Doing social good makes business sense

#4 - Katie Aitken-McDermott - Doing social good makes business sense. In today’s episode with Katie Aitken-McDermott, we talk about how doing social good makes business sense. Key points from this discussion: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How the pandemic accelerated the number of CICs being set up, with 20% of the CICs in the region being set up in 2020. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The importance of storytelling for social enterprises to create a sense of community and belonging. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">And the many great examples in the region to learn from. </li> </ul> Katie moved to the northeast in her early 20s and lives in Northumberland. She’s a mum, a researcher and director of a new social enterprise. She’s worked in the region for almost 25 years with charities, universities and for a local authority. Katie works at the Centre for Rural Economy at Newcastle University and her PhD research focuses on social enterprise. It asks two questions. What is a social enterprise? And how do people start and run different social enterprises? The first question is a bit of a rabbit hole, but it’s important to ask. To answer the second question, she’s visited different social enterprises in our region and really listened to people. Her research should help support more people to start and run social enterprises. There are lessons for other businesses as well.

#3 John Moriarty - How workplaces shape social identity and influence mental health. In today’s episode with John Moriarty, we talk about how workplaces shape social identity and influence mental health. Key points from this discussion: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">The concept of a job role coming from theatre and an actor’s role.</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How Covid has been an accelerant rather than a game changer. </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">And the opportunity for businesses to offer work that fulfils rather than a means to pay bills. </li> </ul> John Moriarty is a sociology lecturer and researcher at Queen’s University Belfast, based at the Centre for Evidence and Social Innovation. The focus of his research is on workplaces and how the world of work shapes social identity and influences workers’ mental health. His most recent writings deal with perceptions of retirement, organisational strategies to protect mental health and the impact of COVID-19 on those at the frontline of health and social service delivery. John is currently working on a project funded by the Wellcome Trust to develop online mental health literacy training with the AWARE charity and with Northern Ireland-based businesses.
