Corporate philanthropy increases employee productivity and loyalty!
Employees who believe their company is highly committed to their community are 50% more likely to stay in their jobs and nearly 3 times more likely to recommend their employer to others. Whether it’s donating, volunteering, or granting funds, a majority of employees want to work for a business that provides a mechanism to give back… who cares about giving back. Corporate leaders who acknowledge and foster this purpose benefit from a happier, more loyal and performance-driven workforce.
Corporate Philanthropy
Forbes published an article suggesting that when businesses engage with their communities, they boost visibility and brand awareness while building valuable long-term relationships. We have personally witnessed how businesses benefit when they make a commitment to their communities through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and philanthropic giving programs.
Our simple assessment and evaluation process will help you to determine what is important to your company and what direction you would like to take, whether you are preparing to launch a philanthropic giving program or enhancing your existing program. Being a good corporate citizen becomes a potent factor when consumers decide what services or products to purchase. But by sponsoring or taking part in community programs, or by enabling employee volunteerism, your company will reap multiple benefits as a result, including a proud, happier workforce.
Employee & Community Engagement
Productivity amongst employees has been shown to increase significantly when employers demonstrate that they care and are committed to their community.
Supporting a charity can also serve as an excellent team bonding opportunity through employee engagement programs. What better way to galvanize the enthusiasm and loyalty of your employees than to demonstrate your company’s support of your community?
Engaged employees, fueled by corporate philanthropy, boost productivity by 17%, increase profitability by 21%, and reduce absenteeism by 41%. On the other hand, disengagement costs businesses up to $550 billion annually. Giving back is a win-win!
