Why the Workplace?
the bottom linePeople trust their employers more than any other major institution. Employees want reliable, nonpartisan information about the civic decisions that shape their daily lives. When workplaces provide that clarity, employees feel more confident, more focused, and better supported.
Employees are ready for employers to lead.
Workplace leaders can rebuild trust and reduce polarization.

Employees Trust Their Employers More Than Anyone Else
Research shows that employees trust their employer more than government, media, and social platforms. The Edelman Trust Barometer consistently finds that 76 percent of employees trust information from their employer, far higher than trust in government (51 percent) or media (50 percent). This trust becomes more important during election seasons, when people feel overwhelmed by headlines and unsure where to turn.
Employees Want Clear, Nonpartisan Information
Pew Research Center and Edelman both show a growing desire for neutral, factual information about public decisions. Employees want clarity they can count on. They want guidance that stays above politics. They want to feel grounded instead of confused. When companies provide calm, nonpartisan civic education, they reduce distraction and strengthen employee confidence.
The Positive Impact to Your Workplace
Clarity Reduces Operational Stress
Employees who understand what is happening in the broader environment feel less anxious at work. Teams stay focused. Managers spend less time addressing confusion or misinformation.
Trust Strengthens Culture and Retention
Workplaces that offer reliable civic information reinforce psychological safety. Employees report higher feelings of belonging and confidence when their employer serves as a steady, trusted voice.
Informed Teams Perform Better
When employees feel confident and supported, they show up better for their teams and customers. Clarity leads to stronger culture, lower distraction, and better decision making across the organization.
Workplaces that meet this need help employees understand the world around them and feel more supported inside their teams. This clarity helps leaders build stronger cultures, reduce operational stress, and protect performance.
