Abstract
WORK ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR SOCIAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.3 Capacity building in new fields of social service such as environmental justice, climate change, green / eco-social work, inter- and trans-disciplinary interventions
Oral Presentation
The goal of work organizational ‘corporate citizenship’ initiatives, such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee wellness programs (EAPs), is to assist such organizations to help meet personal and socio-economic needs of employees, their families and hosting communities. This paper argues that Social Work professionals can assist such organizations to meet their positive ‘corporate citizenship’ objectives, in their work through wellness programs and corporate social (CSR) projects. These organizations assist nations economically and socially through employment of citizens and payment of corporate taxes, all which contribute towards assisting in meeting some of the national goals and plans. National legislations and programs may help ensure that attention is paid on CSR and similar workplace initiatives can go a long way to contribute towards democracy and national harmony, thus lower societal strives and conflicts. The presentation, thus, reflects on roles and dilemmas related to ‘corporate citizenship’ of work organizations, focusing on selected policy areas (namely, human resource, investment, environmental and philanthropy).
