Is membership revenue flat or increasing only slightly? Selling membership “the way we always do” fails to communicate the value of your organization and what you do. Although there have been some changes in the industry, the business model really hasn’t changed much in 30 years. But the landscape has changed and so have the expectations of your members, former members, and never-been members. In today’s dynamic environment, there is increasing pressure to attract, engage, retain members, and increase revenue. Traditional membership models, like the “fair share” approach, sponsorships, and outdated tier structures, may no longer be effective.

Relative privilege in UK industry is a ticking time bomb... “The Post Office scandal screams of relative privilege and clearly demonstrates how UK industry is sitting on a ticking time bomb if companies do nothing to address it.”  BUSINESS LEADERS - are you making company decisions based on 'privileged thinking'? Are you unsure? Research by Belonging Pioneers shows that from 40 companies surveyed, a staggering 92% of employees said they have or are currently experiencing relative privilege at work, 96% stated it was used to gain clear advantage, and 83% said they felt undervalued or demotivated when privilege is used against them. Furthermore, 58% thought privilege was mostly unconscious or unintentional on the part of their employer, but this is leading directly to a loss of productivity, reduced motivation and wavering staff loyalty. For employers, this should be an urgent wake-up call!

Is your business ready to enter Business Awards? Being recognised for a business award means your business is exhibiting excellence across multiple fields. To help you decide whether your business is ready to enter a business award, there are four key areas you should consider: How does your business treat your people? In business awards, a common theme will be employee satisfaction and wellbeing. Judges will be looking for unique examples of how your business treats its people. Does your business contribute to the community? Giving back to the community is no longer just ‘nice to have’ but a given. Business awards judges will be searching for compelling answers in regard to the social purpose of your business. Is your business genuinely innovative? Most businesses say they are innovative, but are they really? True innovation is more than just building or leveraging technology, it’s about empowering people to come up with and test new ideas. Is your business growing? Depending on the award, you may also want to consider a fourth key area, which looks at business growth and sales. Although many awards do examine business sales, this area is not always essential as not all success is about business growth, it could be about resilience or overcoming adversity. Still not sure if your business is ready to enter an award? Green Door Co can help. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g-B2d59j
