This week on the Allyship in Action Podcast, Julie Kratz is joined by Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer at Benevity. Inclusion is about having courage to keep doing good when it feels like the world's spinning the other way. And that's exactly what Sona and Julie dove into this week – this idea that even when the news is full of noise and doubt, there's a powerful current of good still flowing, quietly and persistently. It's about finding that inner strength, that "baked-in cake" resilience, and reminding ourselves that this work, this striving for inclusion and impact, it's not a trend, it's our DNA. Key takeaways from this conversation: The Quiet Persistence of Impact: Despite the noise and pushback, many companies are quietly increasing their investments in CSR and DEI initiatives, recognizing the long-term value and employee expectations. Data-Driven Advocacy: The importance of leveraging data and metrics to demonstrate the ROI of inclusion and impact initiatives, moving beyond emotional appeals to tangible business benefits. The Long Game of Legacy: Focusing on the enduring impact and legacy of leadership, rather than short-term reactions to current pressures, emphasizing that this work is about long-term human connection and value. The Power of Small, Consistent Actions: Emphasizing that even small, consistent actions, like internal communication and employee listening sessions, can make a significant difference in maintaining a sense of belonging and commitment. Generational Values Driving Change: Highlighting the influence of millennials and Gen Z in shaping workplace values and consumer expectations, reinforcing that inclusion is not a passing trend but a fundamental shift. Insightful Quotes: "It's just how it is, the nature of progress, we will progress, we'll take steps back, but we will progress. I fundamentally believe that resistance is a part of progress." "What's the risk of inaction and what do I know for sure that will be enduring?" "When you design your systems for all like you benefit all." "Employees want to hear the commitment right now." Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Start a conversation. Even if your company seems quiet on DEI, initiate a lunch-and-learn or team discussion about the data and trends shared in Sona's research. Talking about it, even in a small group, reinforces that these values matter and builds a sense of community.

Gina Rinehart's father Lang Hancock is well known as a pioneer of the iron ore industry in Australia but few realise Hancock started his mining career on a smaller scale and digging for a different substance – blue asbestos. Hancock and his partner started the mining operation at Wittenoom in the 1940s before selling it to another company, CSR, which mined the area for 20 more years. Wittenoom has become synonymous with an immense tragedy that unfolded upon thousands of the people who lived and worked there due to exposure to asbestos fibres. In this episode of Gina, we interrogate some of the stories her family chooses to celebrate – and others they don't
Welcoming Sally O'Brien founder of Blue CSR, a company that helps New Zealand businesses approach corporate social responsibility (CSR) in a practical and accessible way. Her focus is on employee volunteering as a starting point—something achievable that can create value for both the business and the wider community.CSR can often feel overwhelming. Concepts like sustainability goals or ethical business practices may seem abstract, particularly for smaller organisations or those just starting out. For many, the challenge lies not in motivation, but in finding a manageable way to begin. Sally sees employee volunteering as a practical entry point that connects company values with real-world engagement.She believes that when businesses enable staff to contribute their time and skills to causes they care about, it supports both community outcomes and internal culture. It can help employees feel more connected to their work and to each other, offering opportunities outside their usual roles.At the same time, Sally recognises the difficulties companies face when trying to establish volunteering programmes—from identifying appropriate charity partners to managing logistics and avoiding disruption to day-to-day operations. Blue CSR works with companies to help navigate these issues, offering guidance and resources to support their efforts.Rather than promoting large-scale or all-encompassing CSR plans from the outset, Sally encourages businesses to start small. Offering volunteering opportunities can be a first step, with scope to grow into broader initiatives over time. This might include aligning operational practices with sustainability goals or engaging with environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting tools.Her advice is to keep things focused and practical. A single volunteering initiative might lead to wider conversations within the team or build relationships that open up further opportunities for community engagement.In the New Zealand context, Sally notes that CSR is often shaped by personal connections and local networks. Businesses are often keen to contribute but may lack clarity on how to begin. Blue CSR aims to support this early-stage thinking, without prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions.At its core, Sally sees CSR as a reflection of company values. Whether that means supporting local fundraising events, environmental projects, or other community-focused activities, she encourages businesses to take actions that align with what they stand for.Blue CSR offers a way for businesses to begin incorporating CSR into their day-to-day operations, starting with initiatives that are realistic and employee-centred. While there is no single pathway to responsible business, Sally's work highlights that even small steps can lead to meaningful engagement—both inside and outside the workplace.

Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Your call center has untapped profit potential. When properly trained, CSRs can dramatically boost booking rates and drive top-line revenue. Hitting 90% booking rate on bookable calls should be the standard. Every percentage point below that is costing real dollars. Your CSR team can be a leadership pipeline. With the right culture and coaching, the call center becomes a place where future leaders emerge. Flat compensation beats percentage-based incentives. A clear, daily dollar amount per membership or upsell keeps CSRs motivated and focused. AI has value, but it can't replace human connection. Use it for support, but don't let it take over the customer experience unless you want to risk sameness.

Nominate your veterinary hero here today! Veterinary Medicine was a 2nd career for Jill Clark, DVM, who had a successful 17-year career as an Assistant Director in film and television production that followed her early start in that profession as a child actor. Looking for a change, she was accepted into veterinary school and graduated from Oklahoma State University with her DVM ('96). Clark practiced medicine in a 6-doctor practice as an associate and then Medical Director of a satellite practice for 10 years before joining a group of 8 hospitals that grew to 80, National PetCare Centers, eventually taking on the Vice President of Operations role. Next up, she served 12 years with VCA in hospital operations, managing 22 General and Specialty Practices, and then as a vice president at the VCA home office in Los Angeles, overseeing VCA's doctor recruiting team, campus relationships, and intern/resident placement. In 2010, she was responsible for creating VCA's award-winning corporate university, WOOF-U, which trained and developed over 24,000 veterinary learners and is still VCA's primary training vehicle today. Clark founded IGNITE Veterinary Solutions in 2016 with the singular goal of elevating the role-specific knowledge and capabilities of veterinary teams to enhance their well-being and the well-being of the patients and clients they serve. Her passion for the underserved learners in our profession is obvious in IGNITE's focus on CSRs and their advancement. Clark and her co-author, Kristi Fisher, CVT, created the Veterinary Receptionist Certificate of Excellence (VRCE), which has made a material difference in the lives of more than 5,000 CSRs and growing. Her passion for elevating CSRs to a new level led her to create the non-profit North American Association of Veterinary Receptionists (NAAVR) in 2024 with Debbie Boone, CVPM, and Rhonda Bell, CVPM, PCM, CDMP. This association advocates for CSRs, normalizes and creates continuing CSR education tracks at state and national conferences, and provides the tools necessary for CSRs to thrive in their role. Her nearly 30-year career in veterinary medicine has been dedicated to constantly improving veterinary outcomes and operations. It has created many opportunities for the professional growth of the incredible people who make up our profession. Clark's other passions are showing American Quarter Horses and spending time with the love of her life and fellow veterinarian Bob Murtaugh, DVM, MS, and their 7 dogs, 9 horses, 4 cats, 4 goats, 4 mini-Belted Galloway cows, and 4 chickens on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas.

Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Most service businesses miss 15–35% of their inbound calls. That's real money walking away. AI-powered CSRs can respond instantly—nights, weekends, and during peak hours. Use AI to handle simple requests and free up live reps for high-value leads. Integration is simple, with many teams live within two weeks. Real-time data allows for continuous CSR coaching and improved conversion rates. Speed-to-lead with aggregators like Angi, Thumbtack, and Modernize is crucial—AI helps you get there faster. Many companies use AI as overflow backup, while others have made it their front line. Growth doesn't have to mean more leads—it starts with booking the ones you already have.

Huawei Ireland's 2024 'Seeds for the Future' winners have finished in the Global TOP3 in the prestigious Seeds for the Future - Tech4Good global final held in China. Team Anaphero, comprising five students, Tiarnan O'Rourke, University College Dublin; Ciara O'Reilly, Dublin City University; Dylan Hussain, Technological University of Dublin; Luke O'Sullivan, University College Cork and Eoin Creavin, University College Dublin emerged as 20 European Region champions in the 2024 edition of Seeds for the Future. Their innovative project focused on developing a wearable device that instantly alerts parents and caregivers when a child shows early signs of anaphylactic shock. Utilising sensors to detect allergic reaction symptoms, the device leverages 5G network and AI models for real-time analysis and connectivity. Speaking after the announcement of the results at Huawei's HQ in Shenzhen, Team Anaphero student representative Ciara O'Reilly and Dublin City University student said: "We are beyond thrilled to be honoured in this way and to win with this project. The team is incredibly grateful to Huawei for giving us this opportunity to visit China and compete on the global stage. We have had an incredible few days already and we are now looking forward to exploring more of this country which is rich in history and culture. We are also looking forward to continuing the development of our project with the support of Huawei and the start-up ecosystem they have given us access to." The team's journey to the global competition included attending the Tech4Good Accelerator Camp from April 7 to 10, which provided 10 hours of offline coaching and mentoring. On April 11, they pitched their innovative project live, securing their spot in the Global TOP 3. Team Anaphero also won the People's Selection Award, reflecting the widespread appeal and importance of their project. Speaking about the Tech4Good global competition, Baolin Liang, PR Manager, Huawei Ireland, said: "We are so happy for Team Anaphero and their success in this competition. Seeds for the Future has, since its inception in 2015, benefited more than 280 students from Irish universities through the unique learning and culture experience of the European competition. And now we carried this success through to the global competition.

Karolina Lisslö Gylfe är biologen, visionären och sociala entreprenören – som berättar om sina två företag: Be Urban och Greenovate. Med Be Urban skapade hon en banbrytande tjänst för att lyfta biologisk mångfald i städer och satte bin på kartan i CSR-sammanhang. Greenovate föddes ur fascination för björksav och ambitionen att utveckla naturlig hudvård – Karolina ger en ärlig inblick i hur det är att driva företag med passion, att släppa taget när det är dags och att våga starta om. Hon visar att entreprenörskap inte handlar om perfekta kurvor – utan om att skapa värde, vara kreativ och alltid vara i rörelse. Tre lärdomarna: Våga släppa taget – ibland är det modigaste att lämna det man själv skapat. Kreativitet och timing slår resurser – rätt idé i rätt tid öppnar dörrar. Alla resor är inte linjära – lärorika misslyckanden bygger nästa framgång.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly critical for both corporations and nonprofits. Our cohosts dig into the nuances and potential of CSR partnerships. Cohost Tony Beall begins by defining CSR as "what organizations commit to in terms of how they want to represent their brand to the community," encompassing environmental, ethical, social, philanthropic, and economic responsibilities.The duo discuss the strategic importance for fundraisers to understand these distinct CSR pillars to enhance their approaches. Cohost Julia Patrick admits, "I just lumped it all together," pointing to the common mistake nonprofits make. Tony expands on this concept, describing how nonprofits must align specifically with a company's CSR goals to effectively establish mutually beneficial relationships.The discussion explores the intersection between CSR and cause marketing. Tony differentiates the two clearly: "CSR is focused on doing good as part of the business operation…cause-related marketing is how you express what's happening, how you engage customers."Ethical alignment also becomes central in the conversation, citing the value for nonprofits to choose corporate partners whose activities align with their mission and values. Julia speaks to the weight of ethical decisions and the challenge when nonprofit leaders reject lucrative but misaligned partnerships. Tony concurs strongly, remarking, "You have to have those standards within your organization." The two also talk about the practical need for clearly articulated agreements through ‘Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs)', described as a necessary "formal handshake". This formality, rather than inhibiting relationships, provides clarity and aligns expectations, further nurturing a more sustainable corporate partnership. Finally, they emphasize relationship nurturing and the critical importance of asking corporate sponsors about their reporting and engagement preferences. Tony says powerfully: "It is so important that we understand what is valuable and important and motivates the individual donors and the corporate supporters."Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Today I speak with Jen Stark and Jarrid Green, Co-Directors, of the Center for Business and Social Justice. We candidly discuss how DEI and other topics became flashpoints and ideological hostages rather than sustained corporate efforts, and how companies can break this cycle. We explore the questions executives and boards are asking, how companies can respond to activist shareholders and continue to promote fairness and equity while also fulfilling their responsibility to ensure strong financial performance - and why we're “beyond the business case” so we can adapt our narrative. Jen and Jarrid offer valuable advice on how everyone from the C-suite to DEIB and CSR professionals in the trenches can stay motivated and respond. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:You cannot be neutral anymore. Consumers want to know what their money will support and want to be value aligned.Be authentic with yourself - you need to understand why you are doing what you are doing.Lean into your smaller, individual communities. Mass media and social media information sharing is not enough. "We've left the era of case-making. There are enough data points, surveys, and white papers that if it is was just rational thought governing business decisions, you'd be in a different place." — Jen Stark Episode References: Kerner Report: pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/bombshell-political-reportThe Center's Social Justice Guidebook: bsr.org/en/focus/equity-inclusion-and-justiceHow to Survive a Plague by David France: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/209900/how-to-survive-a-plague-by-david-franceSuffs: The Musical: suffsmusical.comFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.
