What is a B Corp? A B Corp, short for Benefit Corporation, is a certification for businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Unlike traditional corporations, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This unique approach balances purpose and profit, ensuring that businesses strive not only for financial success but also for a positive impact on society and the planet. To become a certified B Corp, companies undergo a rigorous assessment by B Lab, a nonprofit organization. This process evaluates a company's operations, including its governance structure, worker benefits, community involvement, and environmental practices. The goal is to create a global movement of companies that use business as a force for good, driving a shift towards more sustainable and inclusive economic systems. By choosing to support or work with B Corps, you are endorsing businesses committed to higher ethical standards and practices, helping to foster a better world for future generations.

For most families with kids, March and April equal Spring Break - and often a mini-vacation. For employers, this represents a great time to provide information on benefits and resources available to team members who may be traveling - or taking time away from work. #benefits #benefitsadministration #springbreak

There's a lot of chat in the press (and online) at the moment about people going 'back to the office'. So I thought I'd add my two cents... Being in an office is great for two reasons. Firstly, from a personal welfare perspective, being physically around other people is great to help you learn and develop. And secondly, from a business perspective. It's well known that a lot of the positive elements to a business are created when people meet for adhoc conversations. With meetings, for example, many of the key decisions and discussions are made on the way out of a meeting room. You just don't get that on Zoom. What side of the argument do you sit on? #officelife #wfh #backtotheoffice

Employees are permitted to take time off work for family emergencies under compassionate leave. This type of leave typically includes caring for a sick dependent, such as a parent, child, or spouse, and arranging funeral services for a dependent. In Laos, employees can take up to three working days of paid leave in the event of their own marriage, the death of a child, spouse, mother, or father, or other unprecedented circumstances that require their immediate attention. 📌 Navigating the intricate laws and regulations in Laos can be challenging while maintaining your business's focus.

Groom v Maritime & Coastguard Agency [2024] 👇 Just because someone volunteers to do a task, does that mean they are not a ‘worker’ for statutory purposes? Not necessarily, according to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) in Groom v Maritime & Coastguard Agency. Here, a volunteer may qualify as a worker if they have the right to be renumerated for their activities. Mr. Martin was a Costal Rescue Service (CRS) volunteer. Mr. Martin volunteered for the CRS and filed a claim when he was denied the right to have a trade union representative accompany him to a disciplinary hearing. He argued that he should be considered a worker under section 230(3)(b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The CRS, which engages around 3500 volunteers, had a volunteer handbook outlining expectations. While the handbook emphasised the voluntary nature of the appointment, it allowed volunteers to claim costs for certain activities. However, the tribunal initially ruled that Mr. Martin was not a worker due to the absence of a contract with the CRS. The lack of automatic remuneration and varying claims by volunteers factored into this decision. On appeal, the EAT disagreed. It held that a contract existed when a volunteer attended an activity with a right to remuneration. The EAT emphasised that volunteer status depends on the specific arrangement between parties. Consequently, Mr. Martin was deemed a worker. In some ways, the decision is a logical one. The very fact that there was a disciplinary hearing points to the exercise of an element of control over Mr Martin by CRS which, in turn, points towards there being a contract. However, the significance of this case lies in the clarification that a contract can exist between a volunteer and an organisation, even if remuneration is not automatic. The ruling highlights the importance of reviewing specific arrangements and codes of conduct to ensure that volunteers are not inadvertently being turned into ‘workers’ with the rights that come with that.
