Green Initiatives Important, Say Employees

Asked to characterize how important it is that their employers engage in green initiatives, 86 percent of full-time workers said that it is either “very important” or “important,” according to our May online poll. The full results of the poll are as follows:

How important is it to you that your employer engages in environmental or green initiatives and is able to provide you resources and information in this area?

		Very important — 58%
		Important — 28%
		Not that important — 9%
		Not important at all — 5%

Commenting on the poll, our CEO, Peter G. Burki, said, “The challenge for employers, of course, is to launch the most effective—and cost-effective—green initiatives, especially during challenging economic times like these. But there's no denying that employers of choice and those wanting to attract the best workers will be going green more and more.”

We will be doing follow-up polls regarding green initiatives in the future and will keep you posted on the findings.
