Corporate Philanthropy Affinity Group: Taking Employee Engagement to New Heights


Date: 9/15/2010
Time: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Registration: Register for this event

In the current economic climate, corporate giving professionals have been challenged to maximize social impact by leveraging non-cash resources. The Serve America Act has sparked a renewed energy for national service and creates opportunities to rethink what volunteerism and overall employee engagement means for corporations. This session will explore key developments in the employee engagement space which bolster both the business and social cases for ramping up employee-focused efforts. We’ll discuss how employee engagement can be used as a powerful tool to develop talent, build loyalty, and increase the value of pre-existing cash-based giving to nonprofits. You’ll leave with a solid sense of the winning tactics you’ll need to help you plan, execute, measure, and communicate your program.

Presented in partnership with Changing Our World.
