Maximize shared value for the organization, employees, and the community through an employee-powered volunteer program.
Onsite Workshop
Without a volunteer program that considers employee choice, employees often:
Lack the time for volunteering activities.
Do not have the ability or motivation to begin volunteer initiatives that the company hasn’t facilitated.
Are less likely to participate if they don’t have choice in and affinity toward the cause offered.
After enabling volunteerism, companies experienced:
Faster revenue growth, process innovation, and product innovation.
Increased employee engagement, purpose at work, and job satisfaction.
Lower turnover.
