In this episode Jeff Melnyk and Carol Kondo share personal insights and a practical three-step process for addressing social justice issues in the workplace:

1. Listen: They stress the importance of creating a safe space for open dialogue and encourage leaders to genuinely listen to their employees' feelings and perspectives on social issues. This isn't just about hearing words—it's about fostering an environment where healthy debate and diverse viewpoints are welcomed and respected.

2. Show Support: Leaders need to show genuine allyship. This means taking actions that align with the company's core values and choosing which issues to support thoughtfully. Jeff and Carol remind us that it's okay not to tackle every issue—focus on those that truly resonate with your organization's mission and values.

3. Change Your Business: Finally, they advocate for making strategic changes that reflect your company's values and long-term goals. Jeff and Carol emphasize the importance of considering the broader impact of these changes, ensuring they lead to lasting, positive outcomes.
