The Changing Nature of Workplace-centered Philanthropy and Employee Engagement
November 23, 2015 /3BL Media/ - New research on the changing nature of workplace-centered philanthropy and employee engagement, including its role in attracting employees and engaging Millennials, will be released during the next 3BL Media “Best Practices” webinar, Dec. 10 at 11 a.m. ET.
Conducted by America’s Charities, the research report Snapshot 2015 revisited the transformation of employee engagement and explored how companies are responding to new employee expectations, particularly those of the Millennial workforce; the strategic role of employee volunteering; challenges and opportunities that digital culture presents; and increased demands to demonstrate impact and outcomes from corporate philanthropic investments.
The webcast is free and open to corporate and nonprofit executives. It will be followed by a question and answer session.
Speakers will include Lynne Filderman and Steve Greenhalgh, senior advisors to America’s Charities, and Heather Wright, director of Corporate Responsibility at PricewaterhouseCoopers U.S.
“Employee engagement is a huge driver for CSR and sustainability programs, so we’re thrilled to host this webcast to learn how patterns of giving, digital culture and employee interests are taking center stage,” said Dave Armon, CMO of 3BL Media, who will act as moderator.
Snapshot 2015 findings were collected in the third quarter of 2015 from responses to an online survey of corporate executives from 120 unique companies, both large and small representing 600,000 employees and 17 industries. America’s Charities has been conducting research on employee giving for a decade.
