CEOs now have a track record of speaking up about social, political and environmental issues, such as climate change, gender pay equity, same-sex marriage, immigration, gun control and discrimination.2Because many Fortune 500 companies are seeking the next generation of skilled technology talent to drive innovation and meet the demands of the future, we decided to sample tech professionals to understand their particular viewpoints on CEO activism. This sample includes people such as software/application developers and software engineers working in a variety of sectors.CEO Activism in 2018: The Tech Effect is the second report issued in the 2018 annual poll conducted by Weber Shandwick in partnership with KRC Research about CEO activism. CEO Activism in 2018: The Purposeful CEO, the first in our 2018 report series, focused on American consumer opinions about CEO activism. 3“ The new generation of technology professionals is a highly coveted group for companies in every market and every sector. Because of their highly specialized and advanced skill set, they are being hired in increasing numbers by employers of all sectors, not just traditional technology companies. Our study, a first of its kind among this select audience, provides further evidence that the momentum for CEO activism is not going away and CEOs are increasingly expected to take principled positions on societal issues among the next generation of skilled employees.Andy Polansky, CEO Weber Shandwick4Weber Shandwick partnered with KRC Research in May/June 2018 to conduct an online survey of 502 adults employed in one of the following professions: software/application developer, software engineer, web developer, database administrator, computer systems analyst, computer programmer, software QA engineer, network system administrator, business intelligence analyst or data scientist.
