In this post Sharan Burrow calls on businesses around the world to take a look at the business models they preside over.

Sharan discuss two key conversations at the World Economic Forum last week on how we change this prevailing model. Both initiatives seek a radical shift in the way we treat people at work, founded in the belief that we are never going to be able to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and a better world for all unless we start by affording people in the workplace rights, dignity and respect.
