Corporate Responsibility is beyond charity and philanthropy. To be
good Corporate Citizens Companies need to go beyond statutory
requirements and integrate social, environmental and ethical concerns
into their business strategy. To develop and implement an effective
CR programme it is essential that management at all levels understand
its scope and content . A CR programme will only be effective if all
employees are engaged. Attitutes will not change unless employees
have the necessary knowledge and skills to develop and implement CR
activities. Training is vital.
CRBiz Centre for Education, Research & Training in Responsible
Business is organising its Fourth two day workshop on CR
Essentials in Bangalore on September 4-5, 2008, 2008. The programme
has been designed for management personnel in corporates, working at
various levels, SMEs, management students and NGOs engaging with the
business sector.
Why this Workshop: A recent study sponsored by Partners in Change has
revealed that a majority of the Corporates surveyed felt that the
entire work force could use CR awareness-building and training. Middle
level management and HR personnel were identified as those having the
most need for CR awareness and training. The survey indicated that
only 7% had participated in any CR related training programme. A
majority felt that the CR programme offered by the B-schools was
generally low and inadequate.
The CR Essentials programme is an attempt to fulfill the awareness
building and training needs of CR personnel. Participants in our early
workshops have said that the sessions were very useful and had
increased their awareness levels. They were able to understand first
hand CR programmes from experts.
Enhance the awareness levels of those responsible for CR in your
organization. At the end of the two day programme they would have
gained the confidence,skills and the tools to prepare and implement CR
programmes more effectively ensuring increased benefits for the
organization and brand image.
Faculty: The training programme has been designed by experienced
trainers with several years experience in Corporate Responsibility. It
will be conducted by practicing CR personnel working with well known
