Green Benefits For Employees

In a recent survey conducted by Ceridian, a Leading HR Consultancy , revealed that 69% of employees thought it was important their employer was environmentally responsible, and over half wished their organisation would do more.

The "Benefit Choices" survey showed that more than a third of all workers surveyed felt that receiving greener benefits would make them more loyal to their employer. Fourteen per cent would change jobs for a greener benefits package

The top three most attractive 'green' benefits would be incentives to move to sustainable electricity/energy (67%), access to discounts on 'green' recycled products (65%) and discounts on public transport (59%).

Doug Sawers, managing director of Ceridian, said: "People today recognise they need to do more to ensure the long-term survival of our planet and employees appear to be keen to do their bit when backed by like-minded employers."
