Tell us a little bit about yourself and your career journey, here at GoDaddy.

I moved to the city of Nottingham (United Kingdom) in 2020. When I moved here, the city was very new to me. I started looking for a job immediately. It was important for me to gain employment in a place that valued its employees, diversity and progression. I officially began working at GoDaddy in September of 2020 as a Care Sales Guide in the Inbound department. In 2023, I became an Elevate Lead as a way to progress. This role really helped me upskill and gave me the needed mentorship and training to be able to cover for Supervisors when necessary. Earlier this year, I was promoted to Supervisor within the Inbound department!

What does it take to succeed on your team?

To succeed on my team, it’s important to have clear communication, set goals, and celebrate wins. I highly encourage others to push themselves and step out of their comfort zone. You never know what you’re capable of until you try something new.

What has been one of your proudest moments at GoDaddy?

My promotion to Supervisor at GoDaddy was the most rewarding moment of my career. I earned global recognition for challenging the status quo and championing the AmplifAI coaching effectiveness initiative. This initiative measures how well my coaching impacts the Guides I mentor. I have consistently ranked high since I started as a Supervisor, which shows that I am driving the performance and change we need to see.

How do you feel that the organization supports you to do things that are important to you?

GoDaddy has pushed me out of my comfort zone, believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. My leadership has helped me gain confidence in myself and find my own voice. I was able to learn about many facets of tech and gain true experience which has helped me tremendously throughout my career here.

What advice would you give to an individual who is starting their career within Care?

Here’s a few key takeaways that I have for someone who is interested in starting a career in Care:

Always prepare and plan your career goals with an action plan in mind.Seek additional opportunities to uncover new learnings and experiences.Do things outside of your comfort zone – this is where you will have your biggest learnings!Lean on mentors and Supervisor for support and guidance. We’re here to support you and your progression.Ask lots of questions along the way!

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

In my free time, I enjoy day trips with friends and family and I love to paint!

Ever notice how often you’ve referred to “Mother Nature,” likely meaning the natural world, or certain weather conditions, or the guiding force of natural things, or even the mythical creator of our home, “Mother Earth.” This familiar term goes back centuries; Native Americans legends such as those of the Algonquin People, explains Wikipedia, say that “beneath the clouds lives the Earth-Mother from whom is derived the Water of Life, who at her bosom feeds plants, animals and human.”

On a more practical basis in the 21st Century, business interests are increasingly addressing the growing “Mother Earth” concerns of investors and stakeholders. Companies are now disclosing more information and data about climate risk and opportunity, especially the firm’s sustainability impacts related to nature and biodiversity. There are now numerous disclosure frameworks, standards, and regulations in place that help companies organize and fully structure nature-related disclosures.

We are sharing two important reports on the evolving standards, frameworks, and guidance for nature-related reporting as our Top Stories. Here are some of the highlights:

European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) E4 Biodiversity and Ecosystems Reporting Standard — provides disclosure guidance on actions, results, plans, capacity, risks and opportunities and financial effects on the undertaking due to nature related impacts and dependencies. Reporting on these topics is mandated by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) issued by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) for both EU companies and many non-EU companies (including U.S.) that have operations in the EU.

Task Force on Nature-Related Disclosures (TNFD) — created to build on the TCFD disclosure recommendations to encourage businesses to assess, report on, and act on nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities. The goal: to help “shift global financial flows away from nature-negative outcomes and toward nature-positive outcomes.” The TNFD guidance for disclosure was provided in Fall 2023 and more than 400 organizations have agreed to use the disclosures to date.

EFRAG and TNFD have made a mapping resource available to help companies with the common “nature-related” disclosure requirements of the ESRS and the TNFD.

The “LEAP” guidance of TNFD helps organizations in identifying and assessing nature-related issues for the TNFD recommendations, based on these steps: Locate, Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare. The goal of the LEAP process is to help companies conduct a thorough due diligence assessment as a foundational step to report in alignment with TNFD.

Stressing the importance of “Mother Nature” reporting, investors are picking up on the theme of “nature-related” risk, opportunities, corporate impacts, and systemic risk. A group of 200 investors managing assets totaling US$15 trillion organized by the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is urging companies to align global biodiversity targets with corporate policies, operations and practices. Sixty companies were engaged to begin the initiative.

G&A Institute has developed comprehensive processes to assist corporate clients in responding to stakeholder demand for nature-related disclosure by utilizing a variety of frameworks and standards, complying with regulations, and embracing the TNFD LEAP approach.

Wells Fargo Center and Tork®, an Essity brand, announced a formal partnership to enhance sustainability, efficiency and overall fan experience through innovative hygiene solutions. Following the recent $400 million renovation to Wells Fargo Center, the partnership between the arena and Tork, the world’s number one professional hygiene brand1, will leverage hygiene to further elevate on-site amenities. 

As the home of the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers and one of the country’s top venues for concerts and events, Wells Fargo Center requires comprehensive and precise operational coordination to accommodate the variety of events hosted onsite. As part of the partnership, Wells Fargo Center will install a variety of Tork dispensing systems to bolster hygiene management throughout the facility. In addition, the venue will be equipped with Tork Vision Cleaning. This GBAC STAR-accredited facility management software will provide real-time data to cleaning staff on when and where there are service needs across the arena’s over 180+ restrooms, helping to secure hygienic experiences during the 220+ events per year hosted at this location. Equipped with Tork hygiene solutions, cleaning staff can better prioritize their time – ensuring guests are always able to access the hygiene products they need, and the facility meets the hygiene expectations of its visitors.

As part of this partnership Wells Fargo Center has installed carbon neutral Tork PeakServe Continuous Hand Towel Dispensers2 which have been designed with a focus on controlling consumption and reducing waste.

“We are proud to partner with Tork to deliver an elevated on-site experience through sustainable hygiene management,” said Mike Sulkes, General Manager, Wells Fargo Center. “Tork is our hygiene partner of choice because they help us maintain efficient cleaning operations while supporting our sustainability efforts to minimize environmental footprint. The new technology will allow us to be even more efficient in our day-to-day operations while preparing before events and managing the guest experience during events.” 

“Tork and Wells Fargo Center have a shared ambition to lead with innovative solutions that will advance the next generation of sustainable, efficient and high-performance buildings,” said Matthew Urmanski, VP Sales & Marketing North America, Essity Professional Hygiene. “We are thrilled to bring our award-winning products and services to another world-class sports arena and help to deliver a best-in-class guest experience today and in the future.”
