Taking a stand! Gartner research shows that 74% of employees today expect their employer to become more actively involved in the societal, political and cultural debates of the day. Surprised? The company’s research also shows that employee engagement and retention increases substantially within organizations that act on or support a chosen issue(s).
But which issue or issues should your company actively support? That’s the tough question. Try letting your employees decide. You aren’t likely to get 100% agreement on any issue, but you will be committing company resources and time to an issue that the majority of employees hold dear.
