September Meeting: Aligning Values with Action: Social Impact Strategies for HR Leaders

Description: 

Social Impact (i.e., corporate social responsibility) can involve everything from employee volunteerism to making donations to nonprofits. The goal is to align the values of the corporation to the organizations that it supports. How can HR play a role in philanthropy? By focusing on social impact as a key driver of employee engagement, HR leaders can cultivate a more engaged, motivated, and loyal workforce while contributing positively to the community.

From an HR perspective, think about how social impact affects different generations:

• Companies with strong social impact programs report 2.3x higher employee engagement across all generations, and 70% of employees feel more loyal to companies that help them contribute to social causes.
• 87% of employees who participated in corporate volunteering report improved relationships with colleagues.
• Companies with strong social impact programs experience 2.1x better employee satisfaction scores across all generations.

In this presentation, we will cover essential topics, including:

• What is Social Impact and Why Does it Matter
• The Business Case for Social Impact
• Aligning Social Impact with Company Values
• Community Partnerships that Drive Engagement
• Designing Programs that Empower Employees
• Measuring Success and ROI of Social Impact Programs
• Case Studies and Best Practice
