Good company to work for: competitive salary, quality leadership, work/life balance, team
spirit, fair & respectful treatment, personal challenges, recognition, opportunity for promotion,
…
Companies need a good reputation as employer to attract the best employees.
Companies are only as good as the people that work there.
Doughnut economics ceiling of growth is reached.
1) Change the goal (look further than only GDP growth)
2) See the big picture (embedded economy)
3) Nurture human nature (we are social and adaptable instead of rational)
4) Get savy with systems (in nature: nothing grows linear naturally)
5) Design to distribute (create a redistributive design so that everyone benefits)
6) Create to regenerate (regenerative economy)
7) Be agnostic about growth (don’t be growth addicted)
