Employee giving programs are becoming an in-demand and commonly offered workplace benefit. In addition to doing good by facilitating charitable donations, employee giving programs generate value for staff, customers, and communities.

Here are four ways an employee giving program can benefit your organization:

  1. Employee Wellbeing
    When employees believe that their workplace makes a positive impact on the world, they are three times more likely to report feeling satisfied with their work and half as likely to report feeling burned out often or always.
  2. Brand Image
    In addition to supporting your staff, employee giving programs can enhance your brand.
  3. Local Impact
    Employee giving programs often generate value locally. This is especially the case at smaller companies or branches of larger companies where workplace giving programs can focus on local charities, youth organizations, and local first responder support.
  4. Global Commitment
    While local impact is the most immediately felt, employee giving can also empower your leadership, staff, and customers to think globally.

Workplace giving is great, and has inherent worth in its own right. But a well-designed program generates value beyond the donations it facilitates. Employee wellbeing and retention, improved brand reputation, immediate local engagement, and long-term global sustainability are all worthwhile benefits from this kind of program.
