Charitable contributions and volunteerism remained hallmarks of a company’s external expression of core values, but crisis made clear that external acts of kindness must align with internal company culture to maintain a positive reputation.
How your employees, your work “family”, perceive your generosity turns out to be core to business viability. goBeyondProfit’s year-end poll of Georgia employees confirmed that employees desire a caring company culture and visible empathy from executive leadership.
