Greyston Bakery in New York were the pioneers of the Open Hiring movement - a process that opens up employment opportunities to people who may otherwise struggle to enter the workforce.

In a previous episode, we discussed Open Hiring with The Body Shop and this episode builds on that theme. We hear from a beneficiary of the program at Greyston and the difference this innovative yet simple approach to recruitment has had on his life and future prospects.

At a point in history when the UK Government is seemingly moving away from action on climate change, we need inspiration and hope more than ever and this is exactly what this episode delivers.

Join Thomas from Greenheart as he discusses the power of action with widely respected peace and environmental activist, educator and author - Satish Kumar.

Listen and be inspired by Satish and his messages of hope, community-driven change, and his vision of a society that has a deeper and more respectful relationship with nature.

In this episode, Danielle talks to Antonia Tony-Fadibe, Inclusive Hiring Lead at The Body Shop. They discuss how The Body Shop is helping people overcome barriers to employment with its Open Hiring programme and the difference that makes to the lives of the individuals who may otherwise struggle to get that all-important work experience. They also discuss tips and advice for other companies who may want to create a similar programme.

Danielle also discusses the latest impact news with Bianca and Tom from the Greenheart team.
