WEBINAR | Research Highlights: Profile of the Professionals 2018

Want to know how your company’s corporate citizenship department stacks up against others in the industry? Thinking about transitioning to a career in corporate social responsibility? The Center’s new Profile of the Professionals research can help answer your pressing questions about the state of the corporate citizenship professional today.

The Profile of the Professionals 2018 provides insight into the norms and trends in corporate citizenship departments across the country, such as the rising number of corporate citizenship professionals and the challenges of interdepartmental engagement. Despite a few discouraging trends in corporate citizenship professionalism, such as the persistence of a gender wage gap and lack of women in high-level corporate citizenship positions, overall corporate citizenship is a growing priority for companies worldwide.

This webinar will dive deeper into the findings of the Profile of the Professionals 2018 report.
