For employees, engagement goes beyond job satisfaction and a competitive salary. It extends to fostering a sense of purpose and belonging within an organization. Employers who encourage employee volunteerism are more likely to have employees who are engaged. Implementing volunteer programs may also increase productivity, innovation and loyalty to organizations.
Fair360, formerly DiversityInc’s Top 10 Companies for Diversity, measures the success of their philanthropic endeavors through participation in company-endorsed volunteering. All of the Hall of Fame and Top 10 Companies share information with employees on how to take action. Most importantly, the issues that matter to them.
By fostering a culture of giving back, companies can empower their employees to contribute to meaningful causes while reaping the benefits of a more engaged, skilled and fulfilled workforce.
