Business Case for Workplace Civic Education
Informed employees strengthen trust, culture, and performance.
Modern leadership comes with new pressures, including rising expectations from employees, an unpredictable political climate, and a culture shaped by polarization that increasingly shows up at work.
IGCI works exclusively with employers to translate this complexity into practical, workplace-ready action.
What We Mean by Civics at Work
Workplace civic education helps employees understand how civic decisions affect their work, benefits, and communities without telling them what to think or how to vote.
In Good Company Institute works exclusively with employers to provide nonpartisan education, tools, and guidance built for real workplace dynamics.
This work is about clarity and confidence, not politics.
Leading Today is Harder Than Ever
Executives and managers are navigating civic questions whether they intend to or not.
Speaking up or staying silent both carry risk.
93% of employees believe companies should speak out when something feels harmful.
At the same time, 36% of executives feel uncomfortable sharing their views (Harris Poll).
Leaders worry any response (or silence) will create issues with customers, shareholders, policymakers, and their own teams.
Tension slows decision-making and distracts from core priorities.
Workplace culture suffers when people feel divided.
A quick comment can create tension in a meeting.
A headline can send Slack channels into overdrive.
A simple misunderstanding can consume hours of HR’s time.
Employees report anxiety about conflict, fear of saying the wrong thing, and uncertainty about what belongs at work.
Uncertainty creates hesitation, avoidance, and disengagement.
When trust erodes, productivity declines.
Weak cultures hurt performance across the organization:
Innovation slows
Turnover rises
Employees disengage
Collaboration and productivity drop
Leaders have a hard time planning, decision-making, and achieving long-term results.
These are not political problems. They are leadership challenges.
84% of executives, across political parties, are concerned about the political and legal climate’s impact on their business.
