Employee Engagement
The people you work with and the people you work for want to a build a relationship with a company they trust; one that empowers their children, nurtures their community and shares their burgeoning identity as global citizens. If you demonstrate to your employees and stakeholders that you are committed to their passions, they’ll show you their commitment to you.
There are a number of ways you can empower your employees to participate in reaching your goals of being a caring company:
LUNCH & LEARN:
Invite a speaker or host a facilitated film screening. Provide lunch and power your staff with some “food for thought” about global issues.
DONATE A DAY OF PAY:
Set a corporate fundraising goal and encourage employees to contribute with a day of pay. Offer a vacation day as a reward for donating to Free The Children and provide tax receipts.
PAYROLL DEDUCTION:
Big change through small portions; provide employees with the opportunity to take a little off each paycheque and make giving a part of your company’s culture.
MATCHING FUNDS:
Encourage your employees to fundraise for Free The Children projects through incentive programs. Motivate employees by matching their efforts. Encourage them to work towards an office fundraising goal as a team.
