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 new finding comes at a time when human resources (HR) managers are trying hard to keep employees engaged with the firm’s objectives. From higher compensations to learning assignments and cool work environment, companies these days stop at nothing to ensure their staff remains engaged.
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.
