LifeCare® Poll: Green Initiatives
Important, Say Employees
SHELTON, CT, June 17, 2008 – 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 a recent poll by LifeCare®,
Inc., provider of comprehensive specialty care services
and a longtime leader in the work/life industry.
Here are the full results of the poll,
conducted throughout the month of May on LifeCare's
private web site among employees of its 1,500 client
organizations:
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% |
“Clearly, the vast majority of workers
are concerned about environmental issues and I think
a growing number of employers feel the same way,” said
LifeCare CEO Peter G. Burki. “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.”
Each month, LifeCare posts a poll on
its private web site, asking individuals to share their
thoughts and opinions on the latest issues and work/life
trends. Past polls have addressed topics such as stress,
health and wellness, aging, flexible work arrangements,
and barriers to on-the-job productivity.
