The More Responsible My Company Is, the More Motivated I Am,
“Strongly Agree” and “Somewhat Agree,” Average of 19 Countries,* 2002–2020, Subsample: Corporate Employees**
More than ever, corporate responsibility is having an impact on employees’ motivation and loyalty. For employees at large companies, over nine in ten say they feel more motivated and more loyal because of their employers’ efforts to be socially and environmentally responsible. This is especially high among:
- Younger generations
- Those with average-to-high education
- People in emerging economies, especially in Latin America and Africa
This highlights a major benefit for purpose-driven companies: they can attract and retain the best talent.
