Be the Business is an independent charity set up to help improve the productivity of small businesses in the UK. We’ve already achieved a £500m improvement in the productivity of the firms we have worked with. We work with the entire business community, sharing what works for today’s best businesses with any company that wants to learn and improve. As our chair, Sir Charlie Mayfield says, “Boosting productivity is the greatest economic challenge of our generation and is the route to economic growth and improved standards of living.”
The UK lags behind comparable nations in terms of productivity. But, by improving the performance of small business leaders, Be The Business have stepped up to improve the UK’s position overall – and with that, everyone benefits. They work with some of the UK’s most successful businesses to provide small business leaders with the support, resources, and guidance they need to improve their productivity. A fully-remote team, offering 4 day weeks and compressed hours, we’re also reliably informed that their annual team retreats are fun-filled affairs! Sounds like a pretty great place to work to us!
