 | As leaders in the workplace, employers have a unique opportunity to empower their employees, not just professionally, but civically. According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer Global Report, businesses remain the most trusted institutions, above government and media. This gives businesses the ability to become trusted sources of information for their employees and communities, regarding civic participation and topics well beyond that. National Employee Voter Registration Week (EVRW), kicking off on Monday, September 15, 2025, is an opportunity to begin engaging with your employees around civic engagement and become a trusted source of information for your teams. |
EVRW is an annual, non-partisan initiative that works to increase civic participation and the number of registered voters in the United States by assisting employers in their efforts to encourage their employees to register to vote and participate in the civic process.
Supporting voter participation isn’t political, it is thoughtful leadership. When employers champion civic engagement, it builds an informed workforce that is empowered and ready to help shape the future.

There are abundant resources available online at no cost to help companies participate in the initiative, including flyers, graphics, talking points, sample emails, suggestions on how to participate and other information.
There are many easy ways for companies to participate and promote civic engagement:
