social value imperative - laura spiers (interserve) - facilities show, 18th june 2014
DESCRIPTION
Why is Interserve concerned with 'Social Value'? The Group Sustainability Manager, Laura Spiers, explores the challenges the business set itself, as part of its sustainability plan, to double its apprenticeships, embrace local employment targets and establish an approach to building 'knowledge capital'. She also looks at avoiding the 'low pay trap' and what meaningful engagement looks like from the community perspective.TRANSCRIPT
