Empathy in Action with HoneyBee President and CEO Ennie Lim
/Empathy - in action! Kelly & Lara welcome HoneyBee President and CEO Ennie Lim to the podcast, because when the first word in a company’s About page is Empathy, you know they’re doing good business.
Join us to hear how empathy not only is the reason Ennie started HoneyBee, but how she applies it to being a leader and operationalizes empathy (and audacity!) as a value in her organization. Started when Ennie realized the awful industry that is payday loans, this company gives organizations a chance to help their employees break the cycle of paycheck to paycheck living.
We had no idea that:
52% Americans are tapping into retirement early and tapping into savings to make ends meet
78% Americans live paycheck to paycheck and have less than $500 in reserves for an emergency
HoneyBee provides financial wellness tools and makes them accessible to the whole workforce, not only those who would traditionally fit into a 401K program.
Ennie believes in the Transformational power of economic empathy and shares how she starts with empathy in her hiring process.
