Social Responsibility Has HR Benefits Too
Linking a firm’s social responsibility objectives with leadership development can improve employee engagement, says a global study released by the Hay Group division of the world’s biggest executive search firm Korn Ferry on 31 March.

The survey—carried out among 7,500 business and HR leaders in 107 countries—found that across all leadership levels, only 36% of employees are highly engaged. But linking the company’s social responsibility efforts to leadership development can help reverse this trend, and improve employee engagement and performance, according to 87% of the survey respondents.
