How Important Is Organized CSR?

It will be helpful if a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee is organized and meets at least every 6 months so that a clear and consistent direction is in place for all employees and best advice is given.  The President of the organization shall chair the committee and this person may receive advice from a broader based prospective Committee.   There shall be a Human Resources department or Corporate Social Responsibility Department that has initiatives that covers human rights, environmental protection, ethics, equal employment opportunities and social contributions.

When the organization is very large each area of the department should have a Director so they can fully focus on one area.  I believe that this department will be able to convey values and shall provide the proper training that should be held regularly.  With this regular training, better workplace values will be instilled and more opportunities for consultations in the specific areas such as: human rights, equal employment opportunities, environmental protection, ethics and social contributions may be addressed.  Employees should be not be afraid to address any issues or concerns that pertain to any of these areas or that are not law abiding – without being penalized.  A hotline can be set up if there are any issues that need to be addressed.

The role of Music is prevalent and is used in everyday life.  Our life history includes Music and Music helps us to integrate our lives.  Music has an affective and physical level that also affects clients whom have verbal limitations.  The role of a Music Therapist can be enhanced when social contributions have been supported because one will interact with various businesses, their employees and clients will be developed from these businesses.  When an employee knows how a business works then they will be able to conduct their partnership and have a closer relationship with a firm.  The therapist of music is responsible for choosing music that relates to areas that may engage a response.  I have researched and experienced these responses from reading material and physically interacting with senior citizens when performing for a venue.  “Music has been a part of people’s lives throughout history and in all cultures (Wheeler, Shultis, Polen. pp.147).”
