Creative campaigns should be run at intervals throughout the year to maintain momentum and excitement. To assist with this we've launched Choosedays by GoodCompany. Choosedays (run on a Tuesday!), is all about choosing to open your heart and mind to wonderful causes that are not only looking for help (volunteers, donors and fundraisers), but are also looking to help.
These monthly online events are designed to make you and your people more knowledgeable, empathetic, healthier, happier and more resilient and make it easier for you to give back!
GoodCompany is a unified giving platform that makes it simple for your staff to participate in workplace giving, credit card donations, fundraising as well as skilled and general volunteering. In addition, GoodCompany has a range of tools to reward, incentivise and communicate with staff to better engage them in giving and enhance program success. GoodCompany is the only modular platform in Australia. You can choose individual modules or include them all for greater impact. Some organisations start with workplace giving and later on, grow their program to include skilled and general volunteering as well as fundraising. GoodCompany lets you choose what will work best now, while keeping your options open to grow and evolve in the future, all within the one CSR platform.
Implementing a volunteer leave program - allowing staff to take one day (or more) of paid annual volunteering leave - has a range of benefits.
General ‘hands on’ Volunteering provides an opportunity for employees to develop new skills, build on their strengths and collaborate with team mates in non-work settings.
Skilled Volunteering provides staff with leadership and development opportunities and lets them sharpen their professional skills. They showcase your brand, return with valuable learnings and develop a deeper connection to your business.
Volunteering boosts health and wellbeing outcomes for employees, positively impacts engagement and contributes to a corporate culture of giving back.
The community and commercial benefits of volunteering programs are numerous. Please get in touch with us on (03) 9595 6700 or ash@goodcompany.org to learn more.
