<p>Extreme weather events around the globe this year have hammered home the real impacts of climate change. But that means some people have only just woken up to what the rest of us have been banging on about for decades. Companies that don’t address sustainability – and bring their employees along on the journey – invite risk. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It’s a privilege to be environmentally conscious and broadly speaking, climate engagement tends to increase with education and income. But the emergency we’re facing needs more people at the table. Just as diversity supercharges business performance, addressing our impact on the planet demands new ideas, smarter decision-making and the ability to solve problems quickly. </p> <p> </p> <p>How can we create an equal playing field so we can tackle this crisis together? </p> <p> </p> <p>In the last episode of the World Changers 2023 podcast series, host Elle Bradley-Cox sits down with senior consultant and scarlettabbott sustainability champion Harry Grout to talk about a fairer climate transition and how small behavioural shifts can create big positive change. </p> <p><br></p> <p>And, when we’re bombarded by messages every day, we asked the team, what was the last sustainability comms campaign that has stuck in your head? </p> <p> </p> <p>Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you next year for World Changers 2024 … </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Cut to the chase </strong></p> <ul> <li><p>We ask the team scarlettabbott to share the most effective sustainability comms campaign they’ve seen recently – 01:15 </p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><p>Sustainability champion, Harry Grout, explains what it means to be carbon literate – 06:52 </p> </li> <li><p>How sustainability road maps are useful, and how they can be better – 09:52 </p> </li> <li><p>What leaders can and can’t do when it comes to sustainability – 15:20. </p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Want more? </strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Want to get involved in the conversation?

<p><strong>World Changers: Exploring the future of work </strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>What happens when striving for a better work-life balance has the unintended consequence of complacency? Managers need to have difficult conversations – without drifting back to the bad old days of grind and hustle culture. </p> <p> </p> <p>Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum says that the pandemic gave us a “rare but narrow opportunity to reflect, reimagine and reset our work”. But that window is quickly closing. And while our relationship with work and our expectations have changed, many leaders’ attitudes haven’t, leading to a fundamental clash when it comes to issues of mental health, wellbeing and development. </p> <p> </p> <p>In this episode, host Elle Bradley-Cox sits down with director of consultancy Lu McKay to talk about the give/get contract and how leaders can deliver in this new world of work. Yes, we hear horror stories in the news about disconnected CEOs and employees, but when we look at individual cases, the gap is a communication one. </p> <p> </p> <p>We also asked the scarlettabbott team for some examples of good worker/manager relationships and spoke to Daniel Cave, journalist and head of content at Executive Grapevine. He gave us his take on how the HR and comms space is reacting to changing employee expectations. In short: not that well … </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Cut to the chase </strong></p> <ul> <li><p>We ask team scarlettabbott what’s happening in our clients’ worlds, specifically when it comes to worker/manager conversations – 01:15 </p> </li> <li><p>Daniel Cave gives us the inside scoop on what’s happening in the HR and comms space – 05:52 </p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><p>Director of consultancy Lu McKay on the sticky middle of line management – 09:29 </p> </li> <li><p>How can managers have tough conversations without crossing the line? – 17:06 </p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Want more? </strong></p> <ul> <li><p>Want to get involved in the conversation?

<p><strong>Ep.8 Keeping me sweet</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>The talent vacuum is real. Too many clever folk are leaving work for countless reasons – many beyond anyone’s circle of control. But one thing businesses can influence is culture.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Companies that resist leaning into this will feel the pain – and cost – of employees leaving in droves. So how do we draw in new talent and hang on to the amazing people we already have? With a clear company culture.</p> <p><br></p> <p> Culture is often seen as a bit of a nebulous concept. Tricky to measure, and hard to quantify, what makes up the DNA of an organisation can be hard to pin down. But not impossible, as Lisa Hawksworth, our director of culture and insights, is on a mission to prove.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In this episode Elle Bradley-Cox sits down with Lisa – who lives, breathes and probably dreams about company culture – to talk about the workplace war for talent and why a cracking culture is the secret weapon.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Cut to the chase:</strong></p> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>We ask team scarlettabbott their reasons for leaving a previous job, and was it sweet or sour? – 01:14</li> </ul> <ul> <li>When comms is one of the hardest working most underappreciated roles, what keeps us sweet? We asked the community – 06:24</li> <li>Queen of culture Lisa Hawksworth on how to keep your right-fit talent – 08:20</li> <li>What makes a good culture? – 16:12</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Want more?</strong></p> <p> Want to get involved in the conversation?
