The world has changed. So has business. As #socialenterprise catches on, we are excited to share the highlights from South Australia's first social enterprise bus tour. In August this year, the South Australian Social Enterprise Council (SASEC) and @SocialTradersAu joined sector friends, collaborators and partners to showcase the innovative social enterprises leading business for good in South Australia. Starting at SASEC member and certified #socialenterprise The Foodprint Experience on Kaurna Country, we came together to connect, learn, and be inspired by those contributing to a fairer and more equitable world. "I don't know if there's another way to operate in the world, other than to have a positive impact on society and on the planet". - Sarah Gun, Founder & CEO, SASEC member and certified #socialenterprise GOGO Events & GOGO Foundation.

Check out who's on our panel for the End of Year Business for Good Celebrations! Register here to attend on Friday 6th December: https://lnkd.in/ggftUphW
🌟 Meet Our Panellist: Nader Ibrahim 🌟 We’re thrilled to have Nader Ibrahim join us as a panellist for our Business for Good End-of-Year Celebration! 🎉 Nader is a passionate social entrepreneur and the Co-Founder of One Culture Group, a social enterprise breaking barriers and creating opportunities for disadvantaged communities. 👇 Learn more about Nader’s inspiring journey: "Nader Ibrahim, a proud Egyptian immigrant, moved to Australia in 2009 and co-founded the One Culture Group. With a deep passion for community service and a strong commitment to providing opportunities for disadvantaged groups, Nader has been instrumental in shaping the organization’s mission. Coming from an underprivileged background, Nader personally experienced the barriers that prevent access to sports and community engagement. This fuelled his desire to create an organization that would provide the opportunities he once lacked. In 2017, alongside his business partner, Nader founded the One Culture Group, a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to making a positive impact in people’s lives through sports, individualized support, and building social connections. One Culture’s programs are inclusive of all ages, cultures, and abilities. Seven years later, the work continues to grow. The impact has broadened, and the need for inclusive services is greater than ever. Nader’s vision to provide access and create positive change remains at the heart of One Culture’s mission." 💡 Don’t miss the chance to hear from Nader and our other incredible panellists about scaling businesses for good on Friday 6th December, 12-2pm.

South Australian Social Enterprise Council (SASEC) reposted this
✨ Another fantastic workshop in the Business for Good series! ✨ Today we were lucky to have Kaurna man Tim Graham Welcome us to Country in such a beautiful and informative way, which set us up to talk about the workforce. Mel Blondell did a fantastic job at guiding us through workforce planning, the important differences between employees, contactors and volunteers, compliance matters and recruitment. A dense (and at times daunting!) topic, Mel helped simplify and explain key responsibilities and best practice, leaving all participants with valuable lessons to implement in the near future. "Whatever you do in your business, make it be valuable! If a workforce plan is just a dot point plan, that is enough. Don't overcomplicate it." A special thank you to Marius Liddle for joining us as a Provocateur, providing important insights from a First Nations business lense, and bringing in his experience in First Nations employment and workforce strategy and development. After the workshop we gathered for some chats around a beautiful spread catered by Summit Café, a social enterprise of Community Bridging Services (CBS) Inc.
