Webinar: Aligning Employee Engagement with Corporate Strategy
By Elizabeth Rogers
A crucial aspect of corporate citizenship is the ability and desire to engage your company鈥檚 employees. Implementing volunteer, giving, and other 鈥渞esponsible鈥 programs help to not only enhance your company鈥檚 reputation image, but more importantly, the loyalty of your employees.
To see how companies have been able to successfully integrate their CSR efforts and corporate strategy, the Boston College Center For Corporate Citizenship’s September webinar will highlight the stories of two member companies who have done so: Humana and Discovery Education.
- Humana鈥檚 focus of being a 鈥渨ell-being provider鈥 informs their CSR efforts to improve the health of their associates, their members, the communities they work in, and the planet overall.听 Humana has therefore created such programs as HumanaVitality which rewards members for making healthy choices in their daily lives, to Humana Communities Benefit which provides grants to community organizations that promote healthy behavior and relationships.
- Discovery Education鈥檚 emphasis on providing innovative digital content to empower teachers and students has led to a number of CSR efforts centered upon improvement in education.听 Two examples include Discovery鈥檚 3M Yong Scientist Challenge which is the nation鈥檚 premier science competition for grades 5-8, and their partnership with Siemens and Oak Ridge Associated Universities to offer professional development to educators in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.
