Research on the Business Case for Addressing Climate*

Don Cohen and Laurence Prusak make a business case for addressing work climate. Their book, In Good Company, sites extensive research in support of a strong link between climate and bottom-line business goals such as innovation, service, productivity and profitability. Social capital enhances business outcomes by producing:
  • Increased knowledge sharing
  • Lower transaction costs
  • Lower employment costs
  • Greater coherence of action
