Embedded giving can help you attract, engage and retain key talent
Employee/Corporate Workplace Giving
Employee/Corporate Workplace Giving
Are you a corporate employer with a social business mission and an online employee site or intranet? Do you want to integrate employee programs with customer or supply chain programs to enhance engagement and alignment with business and social goals? Are you looking to establish or reinforce Responsible Business as an active element of your company's culture?
The current employment environment and the demographic factors at play are bringing people issues to the forefront; the challenge to attract, retain, and engage valued employees has never been greater. Employees are more engaged, motivated and satisfied when their employers "give back" to charities and causes that resonate with them.
The Benevity™ Solution
Benevity's secure online donation processing engine can easily integrate into your corporate site or other system (such as an intranet), employee portal or other internal employee site. Using the Benevity platform, you can implement innovative employee social business initiatives, including employee matching programs, inter- or intra-company competitions, and the like. The program could be linked to existing or new recognition programs, to add a unique, company branded employee benefit to your compensation package.
You can customize your Benevity integration to meet your people plan, organizational needs and social business strategy.
See Sample ApplicationsA financial services company has a corporate social responsibility strategy with a key element to engage its people in giving back to the community. The company recognizes the importance of involving its employees and empowering employee choices, and wants this to be included in the solution. The company implements an employee matching program and offers employees the chance to choose which organization to support from the list of all registered charities. It sets up groups that aggregate giving amongst departments (ie. showcases how much groups such as Finance, IT and HR have given) and encourages a healthy competition that leads to a greater total value and impact. A supplier provides a matching grant to the winning group.
An energy company has a community investment strategy that focuses on environmental sustainability. The company sets up an employee matching program with supported causes (a portfolio of selected "green" charities) and employees are given accounts in which they can select to support the overall portfolio or individual organizations within the portfolio with special significance to them. Alternately, the company could seed the employee accounts with donation currency that employees could use to support the green charities based on actions the employees undertake, such as volunteer hours completed. In all cases described, the employees receive tax donation receipts and the employers have a seamless solution with no logistical and administrative burden to implement.
The Benevity platform provides an API 
to connect your company’s website to the Benevity functionality, which means ease of integration, low technology risk for you and a choice of features to expose on your employee-facing site.
