Today’s workforce is looking for meaning from employers. People entering the workforce are seeking out companies whose values align with their own and rejecting those companies whose don’t.

Increasing employee engagement is a key opportunity to:

• Increase loyalty and retention
• Inspire innovation and entrepreneurship
• Ultimate positively impact some of the largest social issues the world is facing

Employee social impact initiatives can create armies driving social change around the world, across industries and within companies. Think of private sector employee mobilisation as a new, actionable and localised private sector Peace Corps. A model that drives impact, inspires change - of business, employees and consumers.

Employee mobilisation is a complementary tactic to any of the 2013 SLOW LIFE Symposium initiatives. Jenifer Willig, the lead for this initiative, is already engaging with the Soneva Group on their employee mobilisation strategy.
