Encouraging Workplace Giving: 4 Best Practices for Companies

Jan 27, 2020 6:30 AM ET

Workplace giving is the starting point for building a generous, positive work environment. When you implement a comprehensive giving program, employees will naturally want to participate. Creating or revamping a program is only half the battle. As the excitement of a new program wears off (which it typically does), you might see a decrease in employee participation.

That’s why you need to take a hands-on approach when promoting your program to employees and nonprofits alike. To continuously encourage workplace giving, try these best practices:

  • Enable multiple giving options.
  • Develop relationships with local nonprofits.
  • Educate your employees with the best giving practices.
  • Take action based on employee feedback.

Corporate social responsibility is on the rise, so if you’re not already taking advantage of philanthropic programs, your employees probably aren’t as motivated as they could be.
