#FlashbackFriday to the time the CFO and the Deputy CFO took their climate strike to Manly beach, standing up for doing business better so that everyone can work, live and play equally on this beautiful planet

This International Youth Day we want to give a shout out to our charity partner @WhitelionAus Despite immensely difficult conditions during the pandemic, they have remained committed to supporting at-risk young people in developing meaningful connections and pathways to work.

You don't need to wait until you're larger, have more clients or greater revenue to be able to leverage your organisation to do good in the world. We don't need to change the whole world to have an impact, just start with one small step on your own team and take it from there

On International Day of the World's Indigenous People this year the theme is Leaving no one behind: Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract. In Australia, our Indigenous people are still waiting for full inclusion. fromtheheart.com.au

As we near the end of National Homelessness Week we would like to acknowledge the tireless work of our charity partner Whitelion in helping many young people who experience homelessness develop meaningful connections and pathways to work. ow.ly/8Q3B50FJ5Lr

As Sydney nears the end of its sixth week of hard lockdown, it's important to remember the impact that a lack of community and connection has on everyone. ow.ly/Tkcj50FJ5xv

Today is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day. The theme this year is Proud in Culture, Strong in Spirit. Sharing stories of culture and spirit with our young people is how communities thrive, especially our Indigenous communities ow.ly/QtdV50FJ5qs

If we want to create change, we need to consider what stories are being told and who is telling them. Inequality of any kind will be sustained if we don't have universal voices speaking for all. Words and language have power, but so does the messenger ow.ly/iOP450FJ5eo

Today is International Day of Friendship and a great opportunity to approach every interaction with kindness and understanding, taking a moment to respond rather than react and foster greater empathy for the situations of others. The best way to create community.

We believe recognising employees as part of families and communities is vital. Parents at Work in partnership with Unicef Australia recently launched Family Friendly Workplaces, a company certification that embraces this concept wholeheartedly ow.ly/Di6h50Frwv1

Getting clear on your social purpose and creating a communication strategy that helps your team gain clarity of expectations, helps them grow and develop, and provide valuable feedback on how to improve processes and outcomes helps to create a thriving and healthy workplace

Written before we experienced the devastating bush fires of 2019/2020, the global pandemic and the resurgence of Black Lives Matter. This blog post acknowledges how much we can learn from our First Nations People on how to live, work and play. ow.ly/4BqD50FrvZ4

It's National Pyjama Day today and for many of us that 's potentially every day with the world's 'new normal'. But, today's pyjama wearing to work (even if it's just the bottom half) could raise much needed funds to help children in foster care. ow.ly/va7l50FrvPX

Purpose-led employees are one of the greatest assets a company can have but attracting and retaining them is the key. Sustainable Business has some great information on how to do this. Number two is our starting point for communication strategies ow.ly/phjy50FrvBg

Earlier this month Karen appeared on the Social Mission Revolution podcast talking about all things community and B Corp. You can list here or wherever you get your podcasts ow.ly/psZs50Frvj2

With added restrictions and uncertainty, we're sending a shout out to all. This pandemic affects everyone in differently. Keeping an open mind and reaching out to help others is one of the best ways to help yourself. Community is always the answer to the most difficult problems.

#FlashbackFriday to when the furry co-workers were celebrating our PRIA Golden Target wins, since we're feeling all accomplished this week!

Today we have very exciting news! We've been recognised as Best For The World™ Community 2021. This means we scored in the top 5% of one of the five impact areas. We're proud to be Best For The World Community and a part of the global #BCorp community. ow.ly/XYhk50Fwdg0

Being part of community is so important at times like these. This time last week, during our second lockdown week, Karen spent a fun hour with the Bambuddha Group crew doing impromptu trivia very badly but at least she got to pretend she was at the snow!

On Malala Day we acknowledge the great work and bravery that Malala Yousafzai has shown in standing up for the rights of girls to have an education. Fighting for equality for all is the only way we can reach true community
