This model allows businesses to access skilled professionals for specific hours or projects, making it a flexible solution for both employers and employees. Importance of Flexibility : The conversation emphasizes the growing acceptance of flexible working arrangements in the post-COVID landscape. Companies are increasingly recognizing that productivity can be maintained even when employees are not physically present in the office, leading to more hybrid working models. B Corp Certification Benefits : Achieving B Corp certification demonstrates a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. It can enhance a company's reputation, attract like-minded clients, and create a positive workplace culture that appeals to a younger workforce that values purpose-driven businesses. BEST MOMENTS Jane O 'Gorman: "I wanted to step back in and do what I was doing before, but I realized that I didn't want to do it full time." Kelly: "When you're a female founder and you have those values, it can be quite difficult to navigate finding those experts to advise you." Jane O 'Gorman: "We were fresh and we were trying to persuade and trying to change and trying to encourage businesses to think differently."
