Flourish Foodhall & Kitchen believe that good business starts with putting people and planet before profits

Why have you chosen to put the good employment standards of the Charter in place?

As a Bcorp we believe that good business starts with putting people and planet before profits. Having a package of staff welfare and benefits attracts better people and they stay longer and ultimately help the business to generate profits, which in turn go back into looking after our people.

How do you think the standards positively impact your employees and business as a whole?

Our team are working to a very high standard, our labour turnover is very low, morale is high and therefore we have happy customers.

It does cost time and money to set up these working principles, it’s not a quick fix, you must hold your nerve.

What do you think the benefits are of introducing good employment practice across the West of England?

The West of England will attract great people who in turn support the local economy, raise standards, attract more investment and more people will want to visit, live and work here. It’s a virtuous circle.

Become an employer of choice
