Donald Moore (One + All) - Running a business free from greed

One + All make children's school uniforms, brilliant quality ones too. When you dig beneath the surface at One + All though, you'll find a seemingly never ending list of 'little bit radical' changes and initiatives. 100% employee owned, certified B Corp, pay differential limits, certified carbon neutral...the list goes on and on. It wasn't always like this though, the man that sent One + All on its journey to being a more radical business is Donald Moore. In this conversation he discusses:How he's proud of 'not being very bright' as it has led him to keep things simple in businessHis distaste for traditional economics and business schoolsHow he's always viewed getting fired as inevitable The moment in the wake of the 2008 financial crash triggered a complete shift in company strategy towards a people-centred approachHow the shift increased profits five fold as well as customer and colleague satisfactionEmployee ownership and how it worksHow to prevent your business from ever being sold against your wishesHis campaigns against 'fat cats' and executive payHow they approach 'reward' at One + All, giving proportionally more benefits to the lowest paidHow supporting their team with financial wellbeing set them up to cope with the cost of living crisisHis campaigning on poverty and how misunderstood the issue is, including by B Corp companiesThe reality of poverty in the UK today, from children pretending to eat at school, to the surprise items that are the most shopliftedHow all employers should pay the real living wage, but also take an active interest in what their lowest paid are dealing with on a daily basisHow he hates the term 'HR'Donald on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donald-moore-26235521/One + All: https://oneandall.co.uk/Rob on linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-warren/Want to appear?
