Doing Good While Doing Business:
HR’s Role in Corporate Social Responsibility         

Is “Corporate Social Responsibility” just another fad or does it really add value?  According to a recent McKenzie study, 90% of top executives are convinced that good corporate citizenship is strategically important in building their organization’s brand reputation, and recruiting and retaining top talent. That’s why many HR professionals are now deeply involved in the design and implementation of CSR plans.

Join us to learn how you can systematically engage your employees in social entrepreneurship and, simultaneously, bring benefits to both your community and your company’s bottom line. Be informed and inspired by Will Marré, founder of the American Dream Project and the subject of an award-winning PBS documentary on social entrepreneurship.  Then, share ideas with fellow HR professionals during the session’s “table-talk.”

Over 20 years ago, Will Marré recruited Stephen Covey to leave his university and bring the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to the public, building the world’s largest private leadership company. Now he has another mission: encouraging individuals and organizations to make a real difference in today’s world by blending business know-how with civic citizenship.
