Pat Gallardo Dwyer is the Founder and CEO of The Purpose Business, which helps Asian businesses with purpose-building and sustainability. She gained some great media coverage this past summer in Eco-Business, discussing the importance of workplace inclusion for companies in Asia.
Pat looked at flexible hours, empathetic culture, supply chains and stakeholders. “Exclusion breeds a lack of confidence and trust, at a time when we all want to belong,” sahe wrote. “This is why workplace inclusion is key, whether you’re working in-person or remotely: being excluded destroys culture.”
