Why Socially Responsible Companies Win at Talent
The Giving Advantage
How purpose-driven companies of all sizes can attract better talent, build stronger teams, and strengthen communities
Employee engagement in the U.S. hit a 10-year low in 2024, with only 31% of employees engaged at work, and this low persisted in 2025. Leaders are searching for answers, and many are overlooking a meaningful piece of the engagement puzzle: a genuine commitment to their communities.
The companies winning at talent aren't just posting strong numbers. They're genuinely showing up for their neighbors, their communities, and causes bigger than their bottom line. In fact, 88% of corporate impact professionals say Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is future proofing their business for talent acquisition, retention, and regulatory readiness.
Join us for a free, one-hour webinar on Wednesday, June 10, at 12pm ET to explore what CSR really means, how authentically investing in social impact is good for business, and the key components and considerations for creating an impact strategy that reflects your organization's values.

What You'll Learn
CSR isn’t a checkbox or a PR strategy. It’s rooted in a genuine belief that business has a responsibility to strengthen the communities it operates in. When that commitment is real, it shows—in the talent they attract, the teams they build, and the communities they strengthen.
The data on social impact is hard to ignore:
- Employees who participate in corporate giving programs have 75% longer tenures.
- Volunteering is the only workplace intervention, out of 90 studied, that measurably improved both employee well-being and belonging.
- And 55% of employees say they’d take a lower salary to work for a socially responsible company.
This session will walk through what CSR actually is, what strong community investment programs have in common, and practical steps for building one that fits your organization, whether you’re a large corporation or a small business. You’ll also have dedicated time for Q&A.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for corporate leaders, HR professionals, marketing teams, and anyone interested in aligning business goals with genuine social impact. Company size doesn’t matter. Commitment does.
Register today to join us on June 10 at 12pm ET and explore how showing up for your community can transform your culture, strengthen your reputation, and position your organization for long-term success.
