ESG and People Strategy Support FAQs
How can ESG initiatives improve employee engagement and retention?
A strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) proposition can significantly enhance employee engagement and retention, especially among younger generations. By embedding ESG-focused benefits such as environmental plans, flexible leave, wellbeing programmes, and diversity initiatives, companies demonstrate their commitment to responsible business practices, which can help attract and keep top talent.
What are some key ESG benefits that companies can offer to support employee wellbeing?
Companies can offer various ESG-aligned employee benefits to support wellbeing, including mental health resources, flexible annual leave, support for carers and diversity-focused health programmes. These initiatives foster a supportive work environment that aligns with the broader ESG strategy, enhancing both employee satisfaction and organisational impact.
Why is it important for companies to integrate ESG into their people strategy?
Integrating ESG into people strategies reflects a commitment to ethical practices that matter to employees and society. A well-rounded ESG approach—covering areas like environmental impact, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), and fair compensation—can improve corporate reputation, attract socially conscious talent, and create a more engaged workforce.
How can companies implement environmental-focused employee benefits as part of their ESG strategy?
Companies can integrate environmental-focused employee benefits, such as cycle-to-work schemes, electric car leasing, and carbon offsetting initiatives, into their ESG strategies. These benefits help employees reduce their environmental footprint and show the company’s commitment to sustainability.
