Ignite Employee Engagement with Workplace Giving

Increasing employee engagement is a key focus of most companies’ people strategies.   And it’s a complex, multi-faceted challenge without easy answers.  But there are some issues that employees care deeply about - and one is giving back.    Mounting research demonstrates that employees want to work for companies that care and that social responsibility is a consideration in employees’ decisions to join, stay with or leave companies.

• 81% of employees want their companies to offer matching to support non-profits

• 77% of employees want their companies to support “Dollars for Doers” programs

  There is also a link between workplace giving and employee engagement.

• Workplace giving engages employees, increases satisfaction and helps recruit and retain talent

• 80% of companies that reported that their workplace giving programs were a success cited  “employee engagement and satisfaction” as the reason
