Session Description:

It's good to be Green. That's what a lot of companies are finding, as they integrate environmentalism and sustainability into their corporate culture. Not only is environmentalism good for the community and the planet, it can help employees reduce waste and operate more efficiently. Companies tout their environmental initiatives in annual reports, core values, community activities and even advertising. Yet, companies often fail to leverage their environmental efforts in one key area: and that's recruiting, meaning they are missing a key opportunity - as studies show a commitment to environmentalism and sustainability can be a factor the most desirable candidates weigh when choosing an employer. This program will look at how employers can ensure their sustainability practices and employment brand are in line with their organizational culture and core values.
