Hosted at Lidl GB HQ, today’s #SRAG Q4 summit brought together thought leaders, change-makers, and advocates for social recruitment, all united by the shared goal of creating opportunities for everyone. Key topics included: Hosts Lidl GB kicking off with Momena C. focusing on their journey of socially responsible recruitment, Darren B. shared how Timpson Group lead the way in employing ex-offenders, with 12% of their workforce coming from this group, supported by prison training academies, ROTL and New Futures Network Christy Acton from Standing Tall highlighted their approach to reducing homelessness by combining job opportunities with secure host housing, helping 80% of people stay in work after a year. 55/Redefined's Simon Long discussed the need to focus on skills and motivation rather than age, given the growing proportion of over-50s in the workplace. Jonny Gifford from the Institute for Employment Studies shared an insightful presentation and research into social class. Our panel discussion featuring Laura Davis, James Clark-Allan FIEP, John Chapman and Craig Elliot addressed challenges like economic inactivity and skills shortages, and explored ways businesses can engage with local and national initiatives. Attendees were asked to also bring a toy with them to donate to Lidl's Christmas toy appeal for Neighbourly. Thank you to everyone who attended, spoke, contributed and donated and to our fabulous chair Anne Milton , let’s keep the momentum going! What was your top takeaway from the summit?

Though Talk Money Week, championed by local Citizens Advice services and many others, was tailored for the individual, the parallels for business and the economy got us thinking. Can planning to recruit, retain and develop more people via socially responsible, inclusive recruitment practices reduce the impact of financial uncertainty for everyone? #SocialValue #SocialRecruitment #SocialMobility #FinancialUncertainty #GoodWork #SocialRecruitmentAdvocacyGroup #PeoplePlus #SocialRecruitmentFramework #SRF #SocialRecruitmentCovenant #TalkMoneyWeek2024 #TalkingPositiveImpact #TheBottomLine #SRAG
