What makes a small business resilient when the working world suddenly changes? What has helped your business survive Covid?

Following a short video interview with Rachel Picken from Agile PR about how her business adapted during Covid times and expertise from Dr Emmylou Rahtz on how inclusive practice can create business resilience. We’d like to hear from you, and share some of the qualities that make small businesses adaptable and robust. Come along to share your experiences and your questions with our knowledge exchange officer Ruth Gripper.

More about the project:

The Inclusivity Project is a joint piece of work bringing together research from the ECEHH at the University of Exeter that collaborates with our partners, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly LEP, Disability Cornwall, Age UK Cornwall, and participates with small and micro businesses in Cornwall.

The Inclusivity Project has worked to generate a better understanding of some of the challenges and opportunities that employers have towards creating inclusive places to work for people who are 50+, disabled, or have a long-term health condition.

Our research and support through our Knowledge Exchange service has empowered SMEs to overcome the challenges and barriers they have faced in their aim to be a more inclusive workplace, both pre and post pandemic.

The Inclusivity Project is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund
