SUMMARY:Business for Good: Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this instalment of the Business for Good series\, this time focused on our Customers. As usual we will be applying a slightly different lens to this discussion. Less theoretical\, more practical\, with follow-up actions based on what you decide is the priority. Follow-up coaching is available for each of these workshops. \nCommunity: \nWhanganui businesses in general have a strong sense of community participation. This workshop explores ways in which a business can actively contribute to its local community – supporting local projects\, creating community partnerships\, and working to reduce any negative effects of its operations.
