Research from Best Employers in Canada Study Builds Business Case for Investment in Corporate Social Responsibility

Hewitt and CBSR Data Establishes Strong Relationship between Employee Engagement and Views on CSR

Results from the 2010 Best Employers in Canada study indicate that executives of Canadian employers believe the return on investment in socially and environmentally responsible practices justifies the expenditure. Their instincts are correct: there is a strong correlation between employee engagement and employee views of their employers’ record on corporate social responsibility.

Hewitt Associates partnered with Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR) on this new research to understand the relationships between CSR perceptions, engagement and other work environment factors.

Results from the Hewitt-CBSR research will be discussed in greater detail in a Webcast on January 27, 2010.
