“…Gorgenyi-Hegyes, Nathan, and Fekete-Farkas (2021) conducted a large survey in Hungary, in which they examined the relationship between firms’ internal CSR activities, such as workplace health-related aspects, promotion conditions and their impacts on employee wellbeing. Other studies look at communication-related to sustainability and competitiveness (Hyršlová, Tomšík, & Vnoučková, 2017) or CSR assessment in companies (Hajmásy, 2021; Gorgenyi-Hegyes, Nathan, & Fekete-Farkas, 2021).…”

PurposeNearly half of the surveyed SMEs in Poland admitted that there is a very strong competition on the market where they operate. Among the neuralgic factors they point to the lack of qualified employees (PARP, 2021). Companies can use CSR policies to attract competent employees and retain valuable ones. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to find out whether, according to employees working in SME companies, an active CSR policy influences their employment-related decisions.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through questionnaires received from 618 employees of 29 SMEs in Poland through questionnaires, which were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 and Microsoft Excel 2019.FindingsThe survey results provide evidence that CSR activities are an important factor in employees' decisions about potential employment and/or continued employment. In particular, the results show that almost all areas of CSR, except cooperation with the local communities, are important to employees. The survey also provides a clear answer as to which CSR initiatives benefiting employees of SME companies are the most important for them.Originality/valueThe conducted research fills a gap in CSR related studies on the SME sector in Poland. This is important, given the significant share of SME sector companies in the market in Poland and around the world.

“…This can be seen from the involvement of workers, services to customers, and good relations with the government (Mason & Simmons, 2014).

“…Corporate staff and their potential are a significant precondition for business success and health and safety management represents a prerequisite for the exploitation for such potentials (Hyršlová, Tomšík et al 2017).

A survey was conducted to investigate the impact of occupational health and safety measures (OHSMs) on the performance of Banks in Ghana. Questionnaires were administered to employees of various Banks in the country. Using a Likert scale, respondents were asked to assess the impact of OHSMs on the performance of their Banks. The reliability of the survey data collected was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. Subsequently, Pearson correlation and simple regression were used to understand the statistical relationships between variables in terms of the magnitude and the direction (positive or negative) and to determine the degree of variance among dependent and independent variables. Findings suggest that there was a slightly moderate positive correlation between OHSMs and performance of Banks. Although employees generally agreed that OHSMs were in practice, the measures should be improved and government should reinforce policies for the implementation of OHSMs and ensure compliance by the Banks.
