Encouraging Employee Civic Engagement

Civic engagement is a powerful way to give employees a greater sense of purpose and power, which can lead to increased morale, higher job satisfaction, better overall performance, and retention. Our strategic partners at Pledge 1% are offering this event featuring Brian Boyle, Executive Director of American Promise, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization working to combat the influence of money in politics. The webinar will explore 3 simple ways you can help your employees tap into their passion, creativity, and energy via civic activities.
