A few years ago I was asked by a business associate how they could ensure that their company was taking corporate social responsibility seriously. It was obvious to me, they were not. The corporate social responsibility initiative has been around for quite some time and yet none of the corporations I work with seem to be very serious about it. If they are not serious then why should I even bother?

If corporate social responsibility is not taken seriously in the business community then the results will be disastrous for the company and therefore disastrous for the country. Consider what the United States might look like after a large oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We would see tens of thousands dead and millions left homeless. This would be just one example and there are many others. Why on earth would any company care about this much if it did not have any direct relation to its own profits?

In order to ensure that you company does take my corporate social responsibility seriously, you need to pay attention to your own employees. You cannot put off such a fundamental part of building a strong corporation. At the same time though we cannot expect businesses to run like small governments. There are going to be people who are going to make mistakes. As a manager and as a leader of those mistakes are going to cost you money and lose you clients.

One way to ensure that your company takes my corporate social responsibility very seriously is to make sure you have a committee in place that is accountable to you. All members of that committee have to make sure that they follow your instructions and steer the company in the right direction. If you are not the chairperson or the president of the corporate social responsibility committee then you can expect regular reports back from it. If the reports come back from the committee members saying that they have done what you asked them too, you can be sure that you will be taken seriously when asking them to take my exam for me.

Another way to ensure that your company takes my corporate social responsibility very seriously is to get hold of a book on social responsibility written by an expert. I am told that reading this book is like going through the material on the Socratic quest. It may just give you ideas for new ways to do things. Of course, you have to make sure that you are following the book and not trying to implement every single one of its recommendations. That said, it is an excellent guide to show you how to do things right.

Another way to ensure that your company takes my corporate social responsibility very seriously is to ensure that all your employees sign the agreement form that accompanies each and every contract that you might want to sign for them to work with you. No matter how insignificant it is, just ensure that your employees know about this agreement form and sign it every time they sign anything. This will show that you really mean business and that you are serious about giving people contracts so that they work for you. The bottom line here is that signing a contract is the first step to taking my exam for you.

Another good way to ensure that your company takes my corporate social responsibility very seriously is to get hold of a social responsibility policy. A policy is a document that tells your employees exactly what you expect from them and what you expect them to do for you. Make sure that your policies are well-defined and that you detail what you expect from them in terms of achieving your goals and objectives. Give them a deadline for achieving these goals and objectives and give them a timetable and markers so that they know exactly how much they need to do to achieve them.

Getting hold of the correct corporate social responsibility policy is a very important part of taking my exam for you. You don’t want to waste your time trying to find one online or off, because chances are that there won’t be one that fits your company in the best possible way. Spend some time talking to different HR officers from other companies and ask them about which policies they have in place at their companies. This should help you get a good idea of what your policy should be.
