CSR ‘vital to employee attraction’
Corporate and social responsibility (CSR) is considered to be of high importance for prospective employees, a survey has found.
According to research by forum3, a recruitment event for people working in the not-for-profit sector, some 95 per cent of respondents view sustainable efficiencies in CSR as important when considering whether to work for an employer.
Seemingly vital to candidate attraction, the survey also found that 96 per cent of respondents said they would be more inclined to favour an organisation with an active CSR policy while 58 per cent stated that they would be more likely to leave an employer which did not possess active CSR skills framework.
Out-of-hours voluntary work was also welcomed by 85 per cent of employees in the not-for-profit and commercial sectors who were surveyed.
Forum3 director Debbie Hockham said that the study shows that "organisations need to move beyond lip service and implement genuine CSR programmes in order to help to recruit and retain the best talent".
"It seems greater collaboration across commercial and not-for-profit sectors is needed to make progress," he added.
A forum3 not-for-profit recruitment event is scheduled to take place on October 12th and 13th in Islington and will be attended by over 150 leading charity, housing, local government, social care, arts and other not-for-profit organisations.
