The Engaged Company Stock Index study was conducted for nearly six years to test the hypothesis that organizations across economic sectors with high levels of employee, customer, and community engagement would outperform the standard stock indices. Here are the results for the Engaged Company Stock Index during over six years, which tracked the results of companies with high levels of customer, employee, and community engagement as determined by over a dozen independent data sources compiled by McBassi & Company. Scroll down for a list of the companies.
