  • L’engagement sociĂ©tal ne se limite pas Ă  la philanthropie. Toutes les entreprises sont concernĂ©es, quelques soient leurs tailles. Il s’agit de contribuer, directement ou via des acteurs locaux publics ou privĂ©s, Ă  l’amĂ©lioration de la qualitĂ© de vie et au dĂ©veloppement Ă©conomique et social des populations et territoires impactĂ©s par l’entreprise.


    Mais pourquoi s’y mettre? Dans cet Ă©pisode, Nick est rejoint par l'experte en RSE Dominique Royet et Sandrine Guyot, cofondatrice de Friendly Frenchie, pour discuter des avantages de l'engagement sociĂ©tal pour toutes les entreprises. Comment cela peut-il amĂ©liorer leur rĂ©putation, leur image de marque, tout en aidant les employĂ©s Ă  ĂȘtre plus fiers de l'entreprise pour laquelle ils travaillent et Ă  vouloir y rester plus longtemps ?

  • Lorsque nous pensons Ă  la RSE, nous pensons immĂ©diatement Ă  l’environnement et Ă  l’impact de notre travail sur celui-ci. Nous pensons Ă©galement Ă  notre impact sur notre sociĂ©tĂ© et sur les communautĂ©s qui nous entourent.


    Mais un autre Ă©lĂ©ment important de la RSE est la maniĂšre dont les entreprises traitent leurs employĂ©s. Dans cet Ă©pisode, Nick est rejoint Ă  nouveau par Dominique Royet, fondatrice de l'agence RSE Hysopp Ă  Paris, et par Yannick Jacob, qui travaille chez Morel Lunettes en Haute-Savoie. Elle est responsable de la marque et de la RSE chez Morel, et l’entreprise a fait de grandes innovations dans la façon dont elle s’occupe de ses employĂ©s, mettant la RSE au sein de ses principes d'entreprise.


    Dans cet Ă©pisode, nous explorons pourquoi tout cela est important. Quels bĂ©nĂ©fices cela apporte-t-il Ă  une entreprise ? Cela aide-t-il au recrutement et Ă  la fidĂ©lisation du personnel ? Pourquoi est-ce particuliĂšrement important pour les jeunes ? Est-il difficile Ă  mettre en Ɠuvre ? Et que se passe-t-il si vous ne le mettez pas en Ɠuvre ?

  • We can see the target - Why do we need Sports Vision? 

    In this absolutely fascinating and engaging episode of The Right Optics by Silmo, Nick speaks to Michelle Beach, from Park Vision Opticians in Nottingham about the complexities of looking after the vision of athletes. Michelle has incredible insight in the subject, and her expertise can be applied to elite and hobby athletes alike.

    Is a Sports Vision screen different to a normal eye exam? 

    Should we all consider our vision a little more when we play sports? 

    Could small visual gains separate be the winning difference? 

    Could our vision cause us to get hurt in the sporting field?
