Conscientious Consumers
If you believe in people, and value people, then Choose People.
You have purchasing power. The power to put your money where your values are and support the things you believe contribute to a better world.
As you bought your last appliance or had dinner at a restaurant, did you stop and wonder if the employees who assembled the product or served your food were happy?
When you support a company that treats its employees well, you ultimately support individual employees, their families and the communities where they work, live and play. Nobody wants their mother, husband or child to work in disheartening, degrading or dangerous conditions. Could you imagine supporting a business that poorly treated someone you loved? Of course not. That’s why every purchase is a consumer vote, and each vote truly counts because collectively they have the power to positively influence social norms.
The consumer movement to support employee-centered companies has the power to reinforce responsible corporate behavior. One purchase may seem like a small pebble thrown into the vast sea of commerce, but it can have a ripple effect that gains momentum until it becomes a powerful wave for positive change. Make no doubt, your pebble makes waves.
Happy employees also tend to take pride in their work, resulting in superior-quality goods and customer experiences. So when you purchase Choose People certified products and services you make a statement AND you get treated right.
Choose People to feel good about the goods you buy.
Pledge your support of Choose People or nominate a worthy company.

When you inherit an extraordinary culture, you have a state of the art plane, and a runway with the immediate potential to fly to great heights.
When you inherit a toxic culture, the plane is still sitting in pieces, never mind a runway.
How much of a price reduction should you neg...
