The "sustainability party" isn’t new for business, but HR and Benefits are new invitees. Sprinkle in the need to understand employee needs and behaviors as benefits consumers, and the picture gets more complicated. At Mercer, we’re seeing employers starting to think differently about how they can uncover blind spots that can help them prioritize for impact, while embracing ESG (environmental and social governance) by including HR and benefits. Additionally, with attraction and retention a top of mind issue right now, employers and organizations who demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability as a workforce strategy have an edge. The younger half of the working population said it was important that companies take a stance on issues that matter to them, with 71% seeing the climate emergency as the single biggest issue facing their generation.
So how do you dress to impress for your debut at the green benefits party? In this webinar, we will talk about:
