The U.S. unemployment rate reached its lowest point in 49 years this September. Meanwhile, the percentage of “engaged” U.S. workers — i.e., those who are involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace — is at an all-time high, according to Gallup.

For companies without a robust employee engagement strategy in place, this presents a new reality — it’s becoming more difficult to attract and retain top talent.

We know the benefits employee volunteer programs have on business: increased employee engagement and satisfaction, better recruitment and retention, publicity, skill development, team-building, and more.

But how do you maximize these benefits while also achieving the greatest community impact possible?

Join VolunteerMatch’s Director of Growth and Relationships, Alvaro Tijero, for a free webinar on Jan. 30, 2018 at 2 p.m. ET/ 11 a.m. PT where you’ll gain insight into:

Sam likes to volunteer with his hands. It gives his mind a break from his mentally demanding job. Jasmine prefers to use her specialized coding skills to volunteer. Otherwise, she feels her time volunteering is misspent. And Lena wants an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues she doesn’t see every day, and a chance to chat with the new faces around the office.

No two employee volunteers are the same. And that’s a good thing! Different people get excited about different things. But as a corporate volunteer program manager, pleasing everyone may seem like a daunting task.

Giving people opportunities to pursue their interests is key to driving employee engagement. According to Gallup, engaged organizations see a 3.9x earnings per share (EPS) growth rate compared to organizations with lower engagement in the same industry.

How do you develop engaged leaders among your employees? One effective way is through a top-notch employee volunteer program.
