Organizations with well-defined social responsibility programs can improve their brand reputation, attract more job candidates and customers, and increase employee engagement. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs arose from the understanding that businesses function as a part of society—the success of each deeply affects the other. The importance of corporate social responsibility has increased in recent years, in large part due to the growing influence of millennials.

I’m not sure if the title of today’s post is a major surprise. We’ve been talking about employee engagement for quite some time. In fact, I’m concerned that the conversation has turned to noise.

Great leaders aren't always found with title CEO or manager on their business card. Anyone can demonstrate leadership qualities. It's not about winning a popularity contest. You don't have to be liked to be respected. It's about serving and influencing others regardless of their job title in the effort to achieve a certain goal. More than anything, it's about creating harmony in an environment where people want to work together.

Corporate wellness programs can lead to better employee engagement , greater productivity, and fewer long-term health care costs. However, you don’t need enterprise-level resources to support your employees in leading a healthier lifestyle. Even small and mid-sized businesses can introduce changes that will support a culture of health and wellness, and many of them don’t cost anything. “The workplace is too often an overlooked but important part of the employee well-being equation.

Any professional education program will come with a price tag, so it’s crucial that your employees truly benefit from these offerings.
