“Employees who engage in the company’s sustainability and CSR initiatives have statistically significant increases in their overall engagement rate,” said Susan Hunt Stevens, founder of WeSpire, a technology company that focuses on employee engagement with sustainability.
By way of context, only 31.7 percent of U.S. employees reported that they were engaged with their jobs in a March Gallup poll.
Engaging employees in a corporate sustainability mission is essential for success, but employees are often an under-utilized resource in a company’s development and implementation of sustainability programs and strategies.
“There’s a really growing importance by the workforce of the future to have jobs that have purpose and meaning,” said Hunt Stevens. “And they expect their employers to have sustainability programs, and they expect their company to make the world a better place.”
