Citing programs at companies such as Cisco, Starbucks and SAP, the study recommends two simple steps that managers can take to engage staff with CSR:
• Encourage employees to talk about and develop shared experiences with customers around the company’s CSR activities.
• Make sure that company leaders take a visible role in enacting CSR.
