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.

TLDR; Summary

• Employee engagement has a direct impact on revenue & growth

• Main areas of impact include: productivity, hiring leverage & turnover rates

• The missing piece is not the lack of employee volunteer policies, but opportunities

We can’t make these for volunteer groups (companies). Ironic, because these work much better when designed for the volunteer group. It could be construed as commercial services and its just not risk n

We would have to take grants, make them for the general good, the irony is what would be required to do this as a nonprofit would be much more complex and funding focusing (ironic) as opposed to just simply imaging as many of these programs as possible. Ironically, to be a nonprofit we would have to be a lot more focused on profit. We do this thing that helps people, we collect a fair wage for that.

NO DONT SAY THIS AT ALL. We di create a separate nonprofit to fill a simple need. This is in no way connected to Good this burins. It is run by a separate board and has the sole mission
