Having the option to make an impact in the community is really nice from an app. **What do you dislike about onHand?** More filtering options on missions would be great e.g DBS check required/ remote/local The fact it is new means a low uptake of local area tasks, this isn't a fault with the app just in scope of users right now. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Giving me easy ways to have an impact in the community by suggesting goals that are achieveable. It takes some of the pressure to think of new ideas away while still being useful. ### 19.

For instance search terms such as veggie - then have a ranking by impact or a gauge of the number of days involved in the commitment etc. Would be great to have a logo on the mission to indicate if it has a CO2e saving or not etc. Perhaps this could also be a filter **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** So many of us want to have a positive impact and don't know where to start - onHand answers that question for you with easily accessible missions ### 21. OK but a bit clunky **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2023 **What do you like best about onHand?** A useful idea. It was really great that I could add the volunteering I already do but was really hard to work out how and ended up with 4/5 emails to get there in the end. **What do you dislike about onHand?** Its not easy to find opportunities, with no text or keyword search so you just have to scroll through lists aimlessly. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its not really benefiting me but may encourage others to do good things. ### 22.

Needs a search option! Not entirely clear how the awards are completed - could link to a mission. My Hero Points don't sync properly. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Corporate Social Responsibility was the only drop-down above. onHand provides an avenue to discuss sustainability and volunteering with colleagues. ### 25.

Great idea and executed well **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott H. | SDA, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The app puts you in the heart of the community and makes it very easy to help people/ the environment, both remotely and in person. Has loads of great ideas to help out and make small differences that can have a big impact. **What do you dislike about onHand?** The only thing I believe can be improved on this app is the variety of missions to accept. There are great amounts for washing, clothes & eating options but it would be better to have even more for recycling, planting and Also, on some activities - having them as a full day that you can 'drop in' and do a few hours (for example, having a beach clean between 10-3pm and having people turn up for a 2-3 hour period within this time. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Onhand is helping me think more about my environmental footprint.

The app tells me that I have saved carbon for recycling but it is not incremental. I don't know how legit the tree planting is (but I have asked). You can plant a tree in a forest that is monoculture and used for paper production, for example. There is nothing local to me and I don't want to do telephone companionship **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** it's bringing awareness to volunteering. I'm already engaged, so that doesn;t benefit me but might in future if I want to do a team event ### 32. Join onHand **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Clare E. | P, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** onHand is the easy way to volunteer, help the community and the environment. Our business has embraced onHand because the app is easy to use, people can choose individual missions that align to their passions and they can do these at a time that fits with their work/life. We have also had lots of team missions too. Its a game-changer for the world of volunteering. **What do you dislike about onHand?** Nothing! We have offices in the US, where onHand is not currently available but this will change shortly as we are helping with the beta testing in the US. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Problems: we have an easy platform for our employees to volunteer, individually or in teams. Previously we didn't have a platform as we had to commit to specific time frames and financial obligations. The benefits are multiple: people can volunteer as and when they like, there is a massive educational aspect to onHand and as a team our focus on the environment has improved, the wellbeing of our employees is better - helping others has a huge impact. We are also ticking many of our ESG goals - we now have a Company Forest! This is growing rapidly as we all complete more missions. We can also now measure how we are offsetting our CO2e. ### 33.

A good concept **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert K. | Senior Service API Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** It incentivizes anyone already connected to the company culture to do good things. Gives the user good ideas to improve their impact on the planet. **What do you dislike about onHand?** There is no field to enter a text description of what you did or why you did it. Some of the missions are very repititive. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not really solving a problem for me as being ecological is more natural. It does however gamify it. ### 36. Easy volunteering and education that helps individual growth **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Megan C. | Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** OnHand makes volunteering and pledging to make a difference easy. With plenty of information given for each volunteering 'mission', it helps even those who are anxious about volunteering the confidence to get involved. **What do you dislike about onHand?** The main issue I find is that emails do tend to end up in my 'unfocused' folder and fall by the wayside, but that's not their issue! I've seen plenty of improvements on the app while using it that have only made it easier and helped encourage me to get involved. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** onHand encourages our team to live our values of challenge and inspire by creating these volunteering opportunities in an easy, one-stop place. We're also able to learn more about how what we do impacts the world around us. ### 37. Just what the world needs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** I love that you get suggestions, I have completed tasks to help the world and others that I would have never thought of **What do you dislike about onHand?** At the moment nothing, maybe some of the missions could be a little clearer but still not really a nagative. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping with peoples mental health and also helping save the plannet, my mental health has been improved since starting. ### 38. Great way to stay aware of your contribution **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Floris H. | Investment Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2023 **What do you like best about onHand?** Gamification: scoring and rewards for certain missions or requests **What do you dislike about onHand?** There could be more simple missions available to nudge users or lower the threshold to contribute **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is actively engaging people to help with social or environmental goals ### 39. A really powerful tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The range of challenges available is amazing, and there is the possibility to do remote challenges plus the ability to add your challenges. There is definitely something for everyone. **What do you dislike about onHand?** The app is a little bit slow at times and I cancelled a mission as I realised it wasn't applicable but now I can't get rid of the '1 mission cancelled' notifacation. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm a massive fan of all the CO2e reduction challenges, and saying how it benefits the planet also puts a figure to it, which is great. I also like that there are a lot of well-being missions. ### 40. An excellent idea, but some tweaks still needed **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shona B. | Senior Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** - The customer service is very responsive - send a question in the app and you'll get an answer from a human very quickly. - It's really fast and easy to get verified if you have an existing police check registered with the DBS Update Service. - There is a variety of tasks to choose from. - The app format is convenient. - The company league table is a fun way to challenge work colleagues. - You can install the app on multiple devices (it's not restricted based on phone number) so you can switch between volunteering with your work phone or personal phone, depending on where you are. **What do you dislike about onHand?** - The app does not have enough information for individual in-person tasks. Before accepting, you don't know if a request from an elderly person is recent and requires your attention, or if it was lodged last year and is no longer necessary. You don't know if you can get reimbursed via bank transfer, or if you have to collect cash, spend it and return the change. It's really frustrating sometimes, especially when onHand has all this information. I have flagged these points with onHand, but no changes have been made based on the feedback. I worry some vulnerable people are slipping through the net. - If you don't complete a task in a certain unspecified amount of time (even if it's the sort of task that can be done unlimited times by unlimited people, like a pledge) it's marked as auto completed. If onHand wants it to time out, I'd rather it was removed. - There seems to be an app update every week. It never takes long to update the app, but I've never known an app to require that many frequent updates. - You get the same number of hero points for a five-minute one-off job as a multi-hour recurring task. - It's not clear whether certain organisations are happy for one-off support in the advertised tasks, or if you are signing up for a year. Some charities (like foodbanks) accept one-off corporate volunteers but require a regular commitment from all other volunteers, and it's not always obvious from the task description what you're signing up for. **Recommendations to others considering onHand:** Although there are some areas requiring improvement, the app is a great way of getting newbies to volunteer. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** onHand makes it easier to connect with people in need of help locally, which allows me to target my time and resources closer to home. It's also a great tool to encourage my colleagues to volunteer more, and that's a goal very close to my heart. ### 41. Great app to make volunteering easy for employees **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Public Relations and Communications | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** OnHand makes it easy for individuals to give back and do some good, and to organise for teams or the company to get together to do the same. The onHand team are very helpful and offer great perks, like free talks for your company related to national days, eg Mental Health Awareness Week. They provide tonnes of content and plans to show how best to use it, helping you make the most of the app and encouraging employees to accept missions. **What do you dislike about onHand?** There is a leaderboard showing the employees who have earned the most hero points, but the same amount of points are offered for accepting easy pledges ('wash clothes at 30 degrees', 'call a friend to check in') as they are for much more time-consuming, difficult volunteering missions, so this doesn't seem totally fair, which is a shame because we would like to run company competitions based around those who make it onto the leaderboard. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** The app helps us to realise our company values, and our employees enjoy that it helps them to give back in an easy and modern way. The in-person group missions have helped bring together colleagues from separate teams who would usually work from home. ### 42. The app to help you volunteer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The list of missions can be filtered by you to your location or preference. I have several clients that require weekly missions, so I set these to Yes, repeat the mission. I can modify the mission date to suit my or their schedule. The refund mechanism works well and occasional errors gave been sorted promptly. The fact that there is no ongoing volunteer commitment is very welcome. Also recognising that clients prefer to see the same face regularly and to build a rapport. I feel this us very valuable to lonely people. The volunteer support is excellent through the App messenger system. The cumulative stats are somewhat motivational. **What do you dislike about onHand?** The process to add a receipt photo is rather clunky. Some volunteers have difficulties when phoning for assistance - not getting through. **Recommendations to others considering onHand:** User-friendly app to connect clients with volunteers and track each mission **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** The invisibility of Covid isolation exposed the fact that many elderly folk live their lives with very little contact with other humans. I feel like a ray of sunshine briefly illuminating their day! There is a big role for OnHand App to connect volunteers with the many and varied needs of people living very close to you. The decision when and where to volunteer is yours and that is super convenient for me. ### 43. This is a powerful app that can really help organisations drive engagement with social purpose **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Suzie H. | Senior Delivery Principal, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The App is simple to use. The support team are really responsive and personalised in support There are some really impactful missions on this, it has pushed me to do things I would not have considered otherwise **What do you dislike about onHand?** I would like more information on the 'in person' volunteering missions before you contact them. Several missions I picked up were old and the people were surprised by my contact. I am a bit concerned about how people protect themselves from relationships that form through the app becoming difficult to manage. **Recommendations to others considering onHand:** This is a great concept and App, but to really drive the impact to the organisation and those they help, it needs a great deal of sponsorship and drive internally to promote engagement. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have established on-going relationships with 2 people via the app: 1) Taking a mentally ill young person out for a walk weekly and just general regular contact 2) Supporting an old lady with medication pickup and again general loneliness catchups ### 44. Collective impact made easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sara D. | M, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** Easy access to simple ways you can volunteer and take action in your local community or remotely. **What do you dislike about onHand?** Getting my DBS check has been glitchy but I'm sure it's solvable. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's make it easy for me and my team to take action with its mission suggestions. It's also making people take action through a fun gamification approach. ### 45. Took our company's CSR from zero to success **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 08, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** Prior to using OnHand my attempts to launch CSR activities always got stuck in the doldrums. It's hard to know where to start with CSR, and even harder to actually organise anything. I found myself consistently blocked with a bunch of half-started projects going nowhere. Particularly frustrating when I have minimal time to dedicate to arranging CSR anyway. But since onboarding with OnHand I've managed to get: - Every member of our team signed up and completed at least one mission - Arranged our first all-team CSR activity (big success), and have another one in the pipeline next month - Completed missions myself which I believe to be important causes In addition I think OnHand will make a great company perk for when we onboard new hires, as it aligns a lot more with fulfillment at work. I'd highly recommend to any company looking to get started with CSR activities that will bring their team together, improve job satisfaction, and do good for the world :) **What do you dislike about onHand?** I feel that the app can sometimes require a bit of jumping in and out from app to google sheet to help article etc, before missions are booked. Particularly when arranging group missions. But I imagine this is something that can be easily iterated on in-product :) **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1) OnHand makes my life much easier for organising CSR activities across the company 2) It provides an opportunity for the team to get together and bond (particularly important as we are a remote business) 3) It provides additional incentive for new hires 4) The app improves job satisfaction and personal wellbeing ### 46. Excellent, easy platform to help us all do a bit more good! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sophia B. | People Development and Culture Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The online portal so I can get an overview of our team's impact The app is so easy to use The team are so easy to get hold of and are very helpful **What do you dislike about onHand?** QR codes don't always work, a few IT glitches. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is so easy to organise missions local to us, no paperwork, no time-consuming research, and we are able to organise at short notice. It gives individuals the opportunity to independently carry out volunteer work in their own time, and we can also work as a team, which is so fun! ### 47. Amazing Community Experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jake W. | Senior Customer Journey Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** I love the clear insights that you get within the OnHand admin portal. It's clearly visible how our business is performing, and how many missions we've completed. **What do you dislike about onHand?** I wish you could filter a little further through the missions in more detail **Recommendations to others considering onHand:** Go for it, its a small price to pay to help your community grow and thrive. **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its good to see how we're helping our community in one place. OnHand are helping to centralise this experience. ### 48. The Uber of Doing Something Good **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Simon Paul R. | Business Development Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The ease and use of the app and the breadth of choice available **What do you dislike about onHand?** Sorting opportunities is a bit more difficult. It would be great if I could also remove ones I've seen but won't entertain **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** I want something that is quick and easy and giving me options in a matter of clicks ### 49. It is a great way to help and see your impact **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** There were lots of ways you can easily help close to home that are simple to do **What do you dislike about onHand?** It would be good if there was a search filter for the missions **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our company always choose a charity or too to help every year, but with onHand we can all help with what works for us individually ### 50. Humbling, rewarding and so important for your local community. Everyone should use onHand **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lennie H. | Head of Hype and Culture, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2022 **What do you like best about onHand?** The onHand team. Although everything can be done via the app, you know the team are always on hand (pun intended) to help when you need them. **What do you dislike about onHand?** The only thing is that when you pay for trees to be planted you don't get a certificate. I have spoken to the team about this and they said they are working on it **What problems is onHand solving and how is that benefiting you?** onHand has removed all of the friction we previously had regarding our volunteering efforts. The opportunities are endless (plus always very reactive with the likes of Ukraine) and we can easily track our impact ## onHand Discussions - [What is your experience with onHand for corporate volunteering, and how does it impact employee engagement?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-your-experience-with-onhand-for-corporate-volunteering-and-how-does-it-impact-employee-engagement) - [What is onHand used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-onhand-used-for) - [View onHand pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/onhand/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-31+09%3A10%3A21+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=526a4752-0d86-4ffa-89e9-6105ac354fb4&secure%5Btoken%5D=ced9024036f62f3121ab8a3b55d7a9e11b01a0ec64f2cc06459b696a1eb3d30f&format=llm_user) ## onHand Features **Basics** - Reporting - Performance **Basics** - Reporting - Performance **Data** - Visualization - Dashboard **Content** - File Sharing **Additional Functionality** - Cloud - Mobility **Data** - Dashboard - Alerts and Notifications **Additional Functionality** - Dashboard - Cloud - Mobility ## Top onHand Alternatives - [Benevity](https://www.g2.com/products/benevity/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (177 reviews) - [osapiens](https://www.g2.com/products/osapiens/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (247 reviews) - [Millie](https://www.g2.com/products/millie/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (175 reviews)
