Cornerstone OnDemand: Time Off To Study Ballot Popular With Employees

Santa Monica-based Cornerstone OnDemand, which develops employee development software, says that a survey it has run has found that 50 percent of employees it surveyed desire time off to study their ballot before they vote. Cornerstone OnDemand said it ran a survey with YouGove, which provides public opinion and data, finding 80% of adults typically spend less than two hours to learn about their ballot--and could use additional time off to study their upcoming ballots. Cornerstone said its survey also found nearly 22% of adult U.S. respondents said that they are either not sure or do not feel that they have enough information to cast their ballot in the upcoming General Election in November. The company did not provide other details on how it conducted its survey, but said it is launching a new initiative--the #EducateYourVote initiative--to encourage additional time off for employees to study ballot issues.
