EXPERT VIEW

“It’s easier for social businesses to attract younger people than for large corporations, which was not the case 10 years ago. Yet, youngsters take experience and change easily jobs, leaving social businesses without resources. The job turnover is huge and social businesses spend too much time recruiting instead of having an impact.”
