The Price of Silence: 40% of Job Seekers Avoid Companies Without Clear Stances on Key Issues

Paul Zboichyk2024-11-20T13:51:42-05:00November 20th, 2024|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

However, Employers Must Weigh Risks to Recruiting and Retention When Speaking Out

Latest Results from The Harris Poll

OKLAHOMA CITY — Sixty-five percent of job seekers believe companies should speak out on key issues with half saying it’s important their current or future employers take a clear stance on topics that are important to them. And if job seekers disagree with the company’s position, 49% are ready to quit.

This is according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.

The top concerns job seekers want companies to address publicly are diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) (37%), racism (35%), environmental issues (30%) and sexism (30%).

U.S. hiring managers agree, as nearly two-thirds (65%) feel companies should take a stance on specific issues — particularly DEI(B) (30%) and racism (30%).

Gen Z and millennial job seekers are significantly more inclined than their Gen X or boomer counterparts to value employers who take a clear stance on important issues (54% and 58% vs. 38% and 34%, respectively). Additionally, 40% of job seekers indicate they are less likely to apply to companies that remain silent on these matters.

Some employed job seekers have even challenged or questioned their company’s stance on specific issues such as racism (24%), sexism (24%) and free speech (23%).

However, companies should tread carefully since taking a firm stance could impact both their current and prospective workforce.

Approximately 20% of hiring managers have encountered job applicants or current employees who questioned their company’s stance on DEI(B) (22%), politics (20%) and free speech (19%). Following closely are inquiries about environmental issues (18%), racism (18%), religious freedom (17%) and sexism (17%).

Polarizing Politics
A company’s political stance also matters to job seekers, as 62% say this also influences their likelihood of applying for a job there.

In light of this, there is a noticeable difference in how job seekers perceive companies taking a stance on political issues in general compared to when a company addresses issues that matter specifically to them.

While 66% of job seekers believe that companies taking a stance on political issues poses more risk than benefit in attracting quality candidates, 61% still prefer to work for a company that speaks out on issues important to them, and 58% would likely decline a job offer from a company whose stance on these issues differs.

Seventy-eight percent of hiring managers also think companies taking a stance on political issues poses more risk than benefit in attracting quality candidates, and 33% strongly agree with this sentiment.

“Every company must thoughtfully choose which issues to take a stance on, based on their values and the needs of their stakeholders,” said Bill Stoller, Express Employment International CEO. “It’s about finding the right balance between staying true to the company’s mission and addressing the concerns that matter most to their employees and customers. This careful consideration helps ensure that any stance taken is both genuine and impactful.”

Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals between May 16 and June 3, 2024, among 1,003 U.S. hiring decision-makers.

The Job Seeker Report was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals from May 28 to June 10, 2024, among 1,002 adults ages 18 and older.

Early Childhood Education Franchise to Fill Demand for Quality Care in Greater Denver Market
Local Duo Andrea Frink and Edward Freehart Break into New State with Untapped Potential
The Couple Plans to Focus on Community Engagement as the Pillar of their New Business

DENVER — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, marks a significant milestone with a two-unit signed agreement in Colorado. The new agreement brings Celebree’s nationwide footprint up to 16 states. With site selection currently underway in the Denver and Douglas County area, the first location is slated to open in early fall of 2026.

The duo spearheading the entry into the state are Edward Freehart and Andrea Frink. Prior to joining the system, Frink spent her career in the early education field, with the majority of her time as a pre-school teacher for special education students. Freehart has a proven track record in managing various business relations, specifically in the automotive industry. With five children, the couple has seen firsthand the immense burden on parents in finding the necessary resources for their children. This fueled their search to bring a quality educational model to their community. In their research, the duo was introduced to Celebree School, where they saw the difference in curriculum, teacher support, and prioritization of nurturing children that their community was in need of.

“As a former educator and a parent, I have seen firsthand the toll that educators, children, and parents are currently facing with gaps in educational programs,” said Andrea Frink. “That’s what made Celebree School stick out to us. Not only could we see the difference in their approach to early education, we could see the passion and expertise from their team. Edward and I believe childhood education plays an essential role in life time fulfillment, providing kids with the tools and skills they need for a bright future. As parents, it means so much to us that our school will provide other parents and children in our community with a safe and nurturing environment to grow.”

Marking Celebree School’s entry into the state, the new locations underscore the untapped potential in Colorado as the brand continue aggressive development nationwide. Fueling this vision for growth is Founder and CEO of Celebree School Richard Huffman’s belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. With Colorado continuing to rebound from the academic deficits the pandemic left behind, Celebree School is committed to its promise to Grow People Big and Small™ as it enters the state.

“Colorado is a growing market with a strong demand for high-quality early childhood education, and we’re excited to bring Celebree School into this vibrant community with qualified partners,” said Huffman. “Our expansion here reflects our commitment to meeting the needs of families by providing exceptional learning environments that nurture both personal and academic growth. As population across the state continues to expand, we’re ready to grow alongside it, empowering the next generation through education.”

Celebree School is looking for qualified and engaged individuals seeking single and multi-unit opportunities who are involved in their community, have a passion for childhood education, and are eager to explore the world of franchising.

Fast-growing brand expands national footprint, cements leadership in healthier eating

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Clean Eatz, a health-focused lifestyle brand and meal plan franchise, wrapped Q3 with a celebration of its growth and brand achievements as well as individual franchisee excellence at its 2024 Clean Eatz Franchisee Conference.

The annual event, attended by nearly 100 franchisees and corporate team members, raised almost $50k for the brand’s Clean Eatz Foundation and highlighted top-performing franchisees with performance-based accolades, including:

Franchisee of the Year: Matt Hall and Candace Gilbert (Louisville, Kentucky) — Awarded for achieving the highest gross revenue with the highest profit margin.
Rookie Franchisee of the Year: Gary Shaklee (Cheyenne, Wyoming) — Recognized for the highest gross revenue during the first 90 days of business in 2023.
Multi-Unit Franchisee of the Year: Anna Dey (Westlake and Mentor, Ohio) — Acknowledged for maintaining the highest EBITDA-to-revenue percentage and best audit scores.

In addition to the awards, Clean Eatz shared growth updates with attendees. It has maintained its momentum in 2024, opening 14 new locations year-to-date, with plans for six additional openings before the end of the year. Q3 saw the opening of two new stores, further cementing the brand’s reputation as a leader in the health food restaurant space.

“Our growth can be attributed to a strong business model, outstanding franchisees who share our vision and a strong demand for the product we offer — healthier lifestyles,” said Evonne Varady, Clean Eatz co-founder. “We look forward to finishing out the year strong, with more openings planned as we spread our mission to provide healthy, convenient options to new cities from coast to coast.”

Clean Eatz is actively seeking potential new franchisees nationwide and in territory markets in key states including Delaware, Massachusetts and Utah. For more information on bringing healthier, convenient eating to your area, visit www.cleaneatz.com/franchise.
