Webinar: What is the role of small businesses in promoting health and well-being
18 May 2023, 13:00 – 14:00
Join Prof. Julie Davies and Gisela Abbam at this webinar. We are hearing much more about the role of businesses, primarily through their ESG agendas since the Covid-19 pandemic. There are explicit calls to have health featured more prominently, particularly in terms of metrics and the role of businesses in terms of their employees and customers. Yet, with the gig economy, we see the number of small businesses growing, with many operating online locally and globally. Consequently, this webinar focuses on the role of small businesses in promoting and championing the health agenda, particularly around equality and prevention – what is a small business to do?
