Workers Demanding Corporate Social Responsibility
Mike Cannon-Brookes, the CEO of Atlassian, recently asserted that companies need to speak out about environmental and social issues if they want to keep their staff and stay in business for the long term. Research done for Atlassian by the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers showed almost a third of Australian and US workers were willing to quit their jobs if their employer acted in a way that did not align with their values. The research highlights a trend of a rising number of workers that are willing to leave a company over its stance on social issues.
