What does it really take to rebuild your life in a new country? And how can businesses lean in and support people to get back on their feet, to get quality jobs and to support all our economies and communities as best they can?

During this podcast you will meet Mohammad Yusuf, a software developer who left Syria when the conflict escalated, and Emily Johnson, the Director of Europe Corporate Responsibility for Cummins, a global power leader that designs, manufactures and distributes power solutions.

Yusuf and Emily openly and honestly share the challenges and successes they have had from two different perspectives – a refugee trying to find employment, and a business trying to create a sustainable refugee employment programme.
