When employers demonstrate a commitment to social causes, there is an acute impact on employees and the business. One way to do this is by providing skills-based volunteer opportunities, which leverage workers’ professional skills for the good of others and help volunteering benefits achieve new heights.
Nonprofit firm Common Impact works with employers to align business with social purpose, matching their employees’ talents with the needs of other nonprofits. The result is a win for all three groups: Nonprofits receive free expert insight, helping them and those they serve to achieve their goals; employees experience increased satisfaction and development from sharing their unique skills; and employers see an uptick in areas like engagement and retention, according to corporate gift platform Double the Donation.
