Engaged employees = more effective corporate social responsibility

In short, these guides are intended to help businesses get every member of their teams — from top to bottom — feeling more inclined to consider people and the planet such as much as they consider corporate profits.

Heather Clancy is an award-winning business journalist with a passion for green research and corporate sustainability issues. Her articles have appeared in Entrepreneur, Fortune Small Business, The International Herald Tribune and The New York Times. In a past corporate life, Heather was editor of Computer Reseller News, where she was a featured speaker about everything from software as a service to IT security to mobile computing.

Heather started her journalism life as a business writer with United Press International in New York. She holds a B.A. in English literature from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, and has a thing for Lewis Carroll. When she's not hunting for a great green story, she's singing a cappella or scuba-diving with her husband, Joe.

My daily writing is focused on looking for topics for my blogs, GreenTech Pastures and Business Brains. I as well write often about emerging research trends just as mobile computing, unified communications and cloud computing. Occasionally, I will pop up at an industry conference in some sort of speaking capacity. In cases where a speaking engagement involves a sponsor that may be covered in this blog, that fact will be disclosed in coverage as the case may be.

My corporate writing work in the main consists of crafting technology white papers about some aspect of research. After all that my commentary mentions a company for which I have provided consulting advice, I will disclose that fact. But, there is no connection between these projects and the topics that I'm covering in my blog.
