In what ways do socially responsible actions and sustainable business practices result in lower costs for a company's human resource activities?

What will be an ideal response?


Socially responsible actions and sustainable business practices can lower costs and enhance employee recruiting and workforce retention. Companies with deservedly good reputations for social responsibility and sustainable business practices are better able to attract and retain employees, compared to companies with tarnished reputations. Some employees just feel better about working for a company committed to improving society. This can contribute to lower turnover and better worker productivity. Other direct and indirect economic benefits include lower costs for staff recruitment and training.
