Diverse, Equitable, InclusiveThe Business of Adapting Your Giving Strategy For More Meaningful Impact Over the past year the words diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been thrust to the forefront of everything we do. While these practices are by no means new, the business case for a systematic business-led approach to DEI is stronger than ever. A study conducted by McKinsey & Company in partnership with The Society for Human Research Management (SHRM), evaluated the performance of companies with different levels of workplace diversity. They found that companies that exhibit gender and ethnic diversity are, respectively, 15% and 35% more likely to outperform less diverse peers. The same study found that organizations with more racial and gender diversity bring in more sales revenue, more customers, and higher profits.

April is National Volunteer Month - Here's How To Get Ready April is a month to commemorate giving back to your community through volunteering. Want a game plan to make sure you maximize your efforts? Follow these steps! Gather your resources and team (virtually, of course) to make sure everyone is on board and ready to bring their A-game. Depending on the size of your company and the systems you use, there are endless ways you can use the resources you have to make an impact in your communities locally and globally. Whether you have corporate philanthropy software in place or not, communication is key. Make sure all employees are aware of your volunteerism goals and understand how they can get involved through email outreach and through your company’s intranet to amplify your message. Just as communicating for maximum engagement is important, tracking hours and impact is vital to a successful volunteer month initiative. Using a system built for organizing volunteering events is recommended because it helps organize and manage the entire process from logging employee hours, community involvement, and nonprofit event availability through volunteer match integrations or independent submission. However you manage your volunteerism program this month, make sure everyone feels included, and offer accessible options for donating their time and talents!
