Reducing reoffending is vital.

For people leaving prison, for communities and for the economy.

Every voter should care about education in prisons and rehabilitation🗳️

I’m excited to show you what we’ll be covering in Lesson Two, which focuses on creating a fantastic culture that benefits everyone, from the office environment to the perks we offer our amazing colleagues, I’ve outlined how we do it here at Timpson. tinyurl.com/4kk38pfu

As part of the book launch we have a competition, and the winner gets to spend a day out with me around our shops. So we can talk business, prisons, ethical capitalism, HR, company culture and kindness. And I will buy lunch and pay for your travel! Information is below….

In Lesson Three of The Happy Index, I discuss how to find great ideas to enrich your business and better the lives of your colleagues. From South West Airlines to Ritz Carlton and Sol (an amazing FM company in Helsinki), I’ve learnt so much to bring home! tinyurl.com/4kk38pfu

“Why keeping colleagues happy is at the heart of my business.” This is an article I wrote in today’s Sunday Times on how we measure happiness in the business, and why this is more important than anything else we do. Happy colleagues means happy customers!
