The Benefits of Engagement
Employee engagement is a measure of connection, to both the work & culture of your company. It's also — as we know from the studies cited below — a high stakes venue with far reaching effects on profitability.
Team building activities that highlight company principles, especially those surrounding philanthropy, can play a huge role.
PLACEMENTS
• Your organization's program will be comprised of one or more
placements
• A placement involves 1 charitable organization and 1 volunteer group
SESSIONS &
PARTICIPANTS
The first thing we determine is the number of volunteers who want to be involved. There can be 10-50 in one group (no change in the fee, the amount of setup work is the same). In most cases one placement will be enough for a team / ERG / office / small company.
Then, assuming 3-4 volunteers in each session and the default of 1 session per month for volunteers & 1 session per week for program recipients, we can expect the following program size & frequency.
| volunteer group size (±) | 10 | 25 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| recipients supported weekly | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| sessions per week | 1 | 2 | 4 |
For larger entities with multiple volunteer groups the main considerations when delineating are (1) how targeted do you want the team-building benefits to be, and (2) ensuring that there will be functioning group-wide communication channels.
DURATION &
COMMITMENT
• Default program
duration is 6 months with the option to continue longer
• Programs involving schools are always done
by semester
•
Custom short programs (e.g. summer, holidays, etc) can also be arranged

One Time Setup Fee (Per Placement): $4,000
Additional donations & grants can help bring this program to volunteer groups that cannot afford the fee.
MAINTENANCE OPTIONS
If your team would like to continue after the the first 6 months, Good Team support for the second half of the year is included in the setup fee. If you would like to continue the program after that, all that's needed to keep it going indefinitely is a simple maintenance plan that is carried out every 6 months (after 1 year).
| digital maintenance | mandatory | $200 |
|---|---|---|
| operational maintenance | mandatory | ≤ $300 |
| program lead | optional | TBD |
maintenance fees after one year
DIGITAL MAINTENANCE. This includes hosting costs for the various interfaces and video meeting platform, as well as maintenance and updates to the program pages, compliance forms/databases, and schedule.
OPERATIONAL MAINTENANCE. This is a more involved process that consists of checking in with both sides directly (volunteer and recipient organizations), addressing any operational issues, reconfirming the number of participants, then re-establishing the optimal schedule along with mapping out all scheduling conflicts. It is during this phase that we will also onboard new participants, complete with live orientations and compliance steps. Parts of this process can be itemized and prorated if you have a dedicated team member who would be taking care of some of these things (e.g. the orientation, schedule maintenance, etc).
PROGRAM LEAD. Once the program is setup, the role of the program lead is minimal. They are mainly a point of contact if there are unexpected changes and take care of standard program communications. That said, a certain degree of availability is needed. If that is something you would prefer to have Good Team take care of, we are open to arranging that on a case by case basis.

revenue & growth
