(INTRO)
An organization's business
choices that support the environment such as recycling,
energy conservation and vendor selection have a significant
influence on employees' engagement levels, according
to a new survey regarding green work initiatives.
Anne Herman, a research consultant
with Kenexa Research Institute, that released results
from the WorkTrends survey to coincide with Earth Day
2008, says going green" is not only good for the environment,
but increases an organization's competitive advantage
in hiring and retaining employees.
(HERMAN)
ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOCUS ON
'GOING GREEN,' HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE MORE ENGAGED.
SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF EMPLOYEES ARE PROUD OF THEIR
ORGANIZATION, SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT WOULD RECOMMEND IT
AS A PLACE TO WORK AND SEVENTY-THREE PERCENT ARE EXTREMELY
SATISFIED. FURTHERMORE SIXTY-TWO PERCENT OF EMPLOYEES
ARE MORE LIKELY TO STATE AN INTENTION TO STAY. ORGANIZATIONS
COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT, SET THEMSELVES APART FROM
THEIR COMPETITION IN THE MINDS OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, WHO
ARE PERHAPS THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE.
