Well, here at last is the first Miles Hogarth blog entry. I’m Caroline Hogarth, and I set up Miles Hogarth Ltd in 2006 in order to be able to do more of some of the activities which had particularly caught my interest during the latter part of my 20-odd year career in large multi-national corporations.My focus is on helping firms to deal with the “Social” part of Corporate Social Responsibility. Looking internally, this can mean helping with establishing policies for flexible working or work-life balance. Externally, an example would be setting up partnerships with local community groups, perhaps to provide volunteers to help with reading in a nearby school, or help with decorating a community centre etc.I “walk the talk” myself. My company provides web support to a local school and I volunteer myself weekly. This has given me insight from both sides, as a volunteer and as someone trying to run a profitable business.It is possible to provide a working environment in which people feel valued, and it is possible to raise the profile of your business as a “good” outfit in your local community.In this blog I will be exploring some ways to make this happen.You can find more information at my website, http://www.mileshogarth.com
