Over the past year, the Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives has been working on a study exploring the shopping behaviour of co-operative employees. The study tries to answer three questions: 1) do people who work at co-operatives buy the goods and services they help to produce; 2) do they demonstrate an affinity for consuming the goods and services of other co-operatives, to the benefit of the larger co-operative sector; and 3) what attitudinal motivators and/or demographics are associated with shopping at a co-operative? To answer these questions, we administered a survey to three co-operatives in an urban Saskatchewan centre. The survey generated 359 employee responses. In this presentation, Stan Yu will be sharing some findings from this study and facilitating a conversation about their implications for the co-operative sector.
