About

The end of the year is the perfect time for reflection.If you’re one of the lucky ones who gets to slow down for the holidays (not the case for us here at Marie Mae!), it’s an opportunity to look back and take stock of all you’ve done.It’s gratifying to see what you’ve accomplished before you create goals for the upcoming year… and it helps you see if what you’re doing is working.When you’re trying to do good and make an impact through your business, this is important stuff. That’s why I recommend a year-end impact assessment.This assessment is useful for crafting your action plan in the future, plus building on your business’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.Start off with questions like: Where did you “do good” and how impactful was it across each part of your business? Were there opportunities for improvement? Think beyond just donations. How did you support teammates? Did you reflect your values across your supply chain?Don’t worry if you’re just starting out – this is incredibly useful for continuing to work toward your action plan.Be sure to check out the free workbook I have for you so you can review your 2021, assess your priorities, and set the stage for an even more successful 2022.Takeaways from this episode:· List out the big business milestones in 2020, preferably in a month-by-month format.· Review all impacts your business had, both positive and negative, in regard to environment, social impact, customer satisfaction and more.· Reflect on your list by thinking about what you can do differently or how you can improve.Resources mentioned in this episode:https://thegoodofficepodcast.com/assessmentTo book a free strategy session with Jillian:https://mariemae.com/consultingTo learn more about Marie Mae :https://mariemae.com/For show notes and more resources:https://mariemae.com/episode/80Topics discussed in this episode:- Company's Impact Assessment- Corporate social responsibility plan- End-of-Year Review- Business Strategy- How to create an Impact Report
