The Benefits of Employee Engagement in Sustainability

Employee engagement is a key business driver for organizational success and plays an important role in producing sustainable change. Helping employees to engage is a powerful tool to integrate sustainability thinking into company operations.

They cited the Gallup organization which dubbed employee engagement as "a leading indicator of financial performance" and backed it up with research showing that "engaged organizations have 3.9 times the earnings per share (EPS) growth rate compared to organizations with lower engagement in the same industry."

The relationship between engagement and socially and environmentally responsible organizations was demonstrated in a 2010 a study by Hewitt and Associates.
