The corporate social responsibility software space has seen some pretty major changes over the past decade. It has long been our goal to evolve the prevailing approach to employee giving and cause marketing from one that is largely top-down and transactional to one that is experiential and cultural. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of Benevity’s next generation corporate social responsibility and employee engagement product: Missions.
Today, Benevity announced the launch of its latest innovation: Missions, a new module for its award-winning cloud solution that lets companies engage employees in positive actions to do more good, helping create purpose-driven corporate cultures and increase their social impact. Missions empowers employees to adopt new prosocial behaviors through gamified and easy-to-complete activities, which can be tracked, measured and optionally rewarded through the software.

One of my favorite annual events is Points of Light’s Service Unites. Not only is the conference an opportunity to connect with peers to celebrate best practices and commiserate lesson learned, but it is also a chance to share updates on emerging philanthropy trends and hear from global service leaders. This year’s event delivered on its promise of incredible speakers and insights on the state of volunteerism, and I am happy to share my reflections on three networking and learning-filled days in Atlanta.
