You are having trouble deciding between four equally attractive job offers, so you decide to investigate the CSR initiatives of each potential employer to break the tie: best CSR wins! Which organization's job offer will you accept?
A) Org A does not make intentional recruitment efforts; workforce is not reflective of employment pool
B) Org B has a workforce reflective of the employment pool; change was guided by mandate
C) Org C provides a half day of unpaid leave every other week and encourages employees to use the time for wellness and/or volunteer activities
D) Org D upgraded tech hardware to maintain compatibility with client systems and as a result, their energy use dropped nearly 15%
C
Explanation: C) Without significant investment in planning or money, Org C is demonstrating CSR better than the irresponsible, mandated, or forced actions of the other organizations even though it isn't paid time off. They are engaging their employees with the community which is mutually beneficial and encouraging time to relieve stress or improve health benefits for the employees. This could be considered a valuable benefit if you are short on time. They also are acting voluntarily to contribute to these causes which is perceived differently than efforts based on mandates.
