Kyu launched a survey among employees of social housing organizations on the needs for skills related to CSR and the actions taken by their employers to materialize their CSR commitment.
A major observation emerges: the overall maturity of the sector concerning CSR remains low, despite obvious disparities.
The main actions carried out remain in fact of the order of general awareness of sustainable development (climate fresco, eco-gestures, waste sorting, etc.), or operational actions related to the well-being of employees (teleworking, or installation of places of conviviality).
Few actions still aim to specifically train professions on the new skills implied by a structured CSR commitment. The professions benefiting the most from targeted actions are construction and rehabilitation trades, social professions and purchasing.
However, some organizations have already implemented a structured CSR policy.
Key Achievements
- Determine the possible contributions of each profession to the societal and environmental commitments of social housing organizations
- Define the skills needs induced by these contributions for each profession
- Have these skills needs validated by a study among employees
- Update the 51 job descriptions of the reference system by including a “CSR Skills” section
- Create a “CSR Manager” job description
- Analyze the level of maturity of social housing organizations in terms of CSR through the actions they carry out and the skills needs they express
