Advantages of Social Firms
Social firms offer some advantages over the supportive employment model. For example, they provide an opportunity for developing a sense of community in the workplace. A manager of a social firm in Trieste described this community feeling as “a small extended family.” The supportive atmosphere may explain why the rate of transition from social enterprises into competitive employment is low in most countries. Studies show that belief in an organization’s social mission enhances worker participation and promotes organizational success.
