## How Do You Choose the Right Corporate Volunteering Platforms?

### What You Should Know About Corporate Volunteering Platforms

### What are Corporate Volunteering Platforms?

Corporate volunteering platforms provide businesses with opportunities to build, expand, and manage their employee volunteering initiatives. Employee volunteering programs (EVP) are quickly becoming the norm, and many businesses competing for top talent are implementing volunteering programs. It’s important to note that corporate volunteering platforms manage employee volunteer initiatives via structured company policies; with corporate volunteering platforms, businesses can support personal volunteer efforts of employees, and also provide employees with support and time to volunteer during work hours. Businesses that implement corporate volunteering programs often provide their employees with annual paid time off to use at their charity of choice.

There are two main costs businesses accrue from implementing employee volunteering programs—the cost of organizing the efforts, and the cost of lost staff time while they are volunteering. Companies use corporate volunteering platforms to measure employee volunteer giving programs by tracking the number of hours volunteered, participation rates, types of volunteer services provided, employee satisfaction, and skill development. Overall, it’s been found that the benefits of a corporate volunteering program ultimately outweigh the costs.

Employees are increasingly searching for meaning in their workplace, and providing company-sponsored opportunities that empowers employees to give back to efforts they find meaningful helps attract, engage, and retain top talent.

Key Benefits of Corporate Volunteering Platforms

- Increase rates of engagement, resulting in higher productivity and retention rates
- Improve rates of recruitment due to positive company branding
- Employees gain hard and soft skills including leadership, communication, collaboration, confidence, and empathy
- Employees experience enhanced sense of purpose within the company and for their company’s mission

### Why Use Corporate Volunteering Platforms?

The benefits business can reap by implementing a corporate volunteering platform are expansive. Some of the benefits are listed below.

**Positive impact on revenue —** Employees who participate in corporate volunteering programs are often more engaged in their workplace, resulting in higher productivity and a reduction in turnover. Companies with corporate volunteering programs expect to experience a positive impact on the bottom line. A study by SAP found a $40 million revenue fluctuation when employee engagement rose or fell by just 1%—a small gain in employee engagement can result in a large profit margin.

**Improved team collaboration —** Employee volunteer programs are a great way to increase collaboration amongst colleagues. Corporate volunteer programs create exciting opportunities for employees to associate and fraternize with their colleagues in a non-work setting through volunteering efforts.

**Improved employee productivity —** Employee volunteer programs are a great way to increase employees’ workplace satisfaction and to develop both hard and soft skills, resulting in greater productivity.

**Increased self-awareness —** When employees spend some of their allotted work hours helping others, they will have the opportunity for experiential learning that is not necessarily available on the job. They might learn more about conflict management, decision-making, and leadership that they would have in their current position.

**Bettered reputation —** Companies with corporate volunteering programs can improve their overall brand image and enhance both customer and employee attitude. The [2015 Gallup Millennial Report](https://www.gallup.com/workplace/238073/millennials-work-live.aspx) found that 77% of millennials would rather donate their skills than money to organizations and efforts that matter to them. This is the same generation that has been found to value opportunities for growth and development as well as meaningful work over a focus on salary.

**Positive impact on health —** Corporate volunteering programs have been found to positively impact the health and well-being of the employees who participate, according to a [study by UnitedHealthcare and VolunteerMatch](http://cdn.volunteermatch.org/www/about/UnitedHealthcare_VolunteerMatch_Do_Good_Live_Well_Study.pdf). They found that 75% of workers in the United States that volunteer feel physically healthier and experience a positive connection to their colleagues and employers.

**Positive impact on recruitment and retention —** Corporate volunteering programs have a positive impact on recruiting efforts and retention rates. A meaningful workplace will ultimately attract more applicants and retain them at higher rates.

### Who Uses Corporate Volunteering Platforms?

All kinds of businesses employ corporate volunteering platforms to manage their corporate volunteering and giving programs, and increase employee engagement. Corporate volunteering platforms help companies of all sizes provide employees with opportunities to volunteer for causes they are passionate about.

Employees can use these tools to browse, search, and filter volunteer opportunities by keywords, skills, and causes. These tools also provide companies with scheduling, time off policies, and approval process features.

**Volunteer engagement —** Corporate volunteering platform features that engage volunteers might include volunteer profiles, badges, gamification, recognition, and rewards.These tools help keep employees engaged in their volunteering initiatives by further incentivizing their participation.

**Volunteer communication —** Communication features help keep volunteers updated on all communication via email, text messaging, automated notifications, social media integrations, and more.

**Volunteer reporting —** Corporate volunteer platforms manage volunteer hours and help create and export reports for companies to track their employee volunteer program’s impact. This can help companies understand their corporate volunteering initiatives’ ROI and communicate their impact to stakeholders.

**Mobile —** Mobile features provide employees with mobile access to all volunteer opportunities, they also conveniently record their service hours and easily communicate via text, group messaging, and so on. This feature can help engage more employees with their company’s corporate volunteer initiatives by making them extremely easy to access.

**Security —** Corporate volunteering platforms provide security solutions to help companies safely implement their corporate volunteering initiatives. Features may include vetting, payment verification, and affiliation. Vetting features help companies confirm the identity of organizations they are volunteering with or donating money to. Meanwhile, affiliation features allow organizations to vet nonprofits, schools, universities, city entities, foundations, and other partners.

#### Additional Corporate Volunteering Platform Features

**Donation management —** Some corporate volunteering platforms provide tools that allow companies to customize their employee donation matching program. Features might include company matching and automatic payroll processing so donations can be processed by employees or managed with a company’s existing [payroll software](https://www.g2.com/categories/payroll) or HR system.

**Strategic donations —** Some corporate volunteering platforms help employees identify strategic solutions for giving. For example, if they are interested in local fundraising efforts or conservation efforts, these solutions can help them target the best nonprofit for their interests. Some corporate volunteering platforms provide employees with relief and recovery support allowing them to donate directly to organizations responding to recent disasters.

### Trends Related to Corporate Volunteering Platforms

As more businesses embrace corporate volunteering initiatives, so do trends around corporate and employee volunteering initiatives.

**International volunteering —** As companies become more global, and the popularity of voluntourism—a combination of volunteering and tourism—is on the rise, international volunteering is becoming mainstream. Multinational companies that provide corporate volunteer opportunities tend to start with offering programs at their local headquarters. These programs are beginning to expand beyond the headquarters to their international employees, allowing non-headquarter employees to participate.

**Integration of giving time and money —** Companies are looking for corporate volunteering platforms that provide solutions for giving both time and money. Technology that provides options for effective volunteer tracking and simplified donating often result in an increase in volunteer program participation amongst employees, positively impacting companies’ giving program and employee engagement.

**Expansion of “Dollars for Doers&quot; programs —**&quot;Dollars for Doers&quot; grants, also known as corporate volunteer grants, encourage employees to volunteer their time by giving money to nonprofit organizations based on the number of hours its employees volunteer. Employees can double their impact, first they volunteer their time and then their employer donates money based on the time spent volunteering.
