The world is a smaller place thanks to the Internet, global trading and new communication and technology advances. More U.S. companies are expanding overseas, and now manage a global workforce that has unique benefits, rules/laws, and different languages and currencies. With this global expansion comes a "responsibility". When companies are global, an important challenge in garnering success is to respect other cultures and workforce environments and start forming a global profile or social consciousness.
A wonderful way to recognize these differences is to have a sound Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plan that can simultaneously increase shareholder value, boost employee engagement and increase employer brand recognition. Human Resource Departments play a critical role in ensuring that the company adopts corporate social responsibility programs. Furthermore, HR can manage its implementation and monitor its adoption proactively, while documenting (and celebrating) its success throughout the company.
You might ask, "How can human resources technology help with a Corporate Social Responsibility program, including reducing the company's carbon footprint to benefit the planet?"
