Episode 2: From Impromptu to Strategic Partnerships

In our second episode, we explore the art of cultivating purposeful partnerships—ones that transcend transactional offers for a more strategic and thoughtful approach. These alliances, rooted in strategy and the core values and DNA of business operations, bring numerous benefits to the business, its employees, and the broader community. We delve into the transformative journey that Tees has been on as they shape their responsible business strategy, empowering them to directly address community needs, with a focus on social mobility, mental health and well-being, and learning and development. The Cambridge Acorn Project a partner of Tees is operating in one of the UK's most economically challenged areas and Hannah and Janine share their collaboration—establishing a pro bono legal clinic for families in need, aligned with the social objectives of Tees and directly responding to local needs. Clear expectations and strategy set the tone for this brilliant collaboration, enhancing the well-being of families in our communities and guiding people toward a better future.
