Characteristics of Socially Responsible Employers

Socially responsible employers prize employees and are committed to community service. To sustain these values, they consistently demonstrate the following 10 characteristics in their work environment and daily business practice:

  1. Sustain a work environment founded on dignity and respect for all employees
  2. Make employees feel their jobs are important
  3. Cultivate the full potential of all employees
  4. Encourage individual pursuit of work/life balance
  5. Enable the well-being of individuals and their families through compensation, benefits, policies and practices
  6. Develop great leaders, at all levels, who excel at managing people as well as results
  7. Appreciate and recognize the contributions of people who work there
  8. Establish and communicate standards for ethical behavior and integrity
  9. Get involved in community endeavors and/or public policy
  10. Consider the human toll when making business decisions

To support these values, Companies That Care offers employers numerous sponsorship opportunities, including membership in our Community of Caring. We also offer a wide range of employee volunteer opportunities, from mentoring to staffing events to hosting students for job shadowing.
