Providing opportunities for employees to connect with social issues is critical in today’s professional landscape. Eighty-four percent of U.S. employees now expect and want companies to engage on social issues (Source) and 55% of current U.S. employees say they would leave their current employer for an organization that has a more positive impact. (Source) Workers are increasingly seeking out workplaces that not only take decisive action for good but also ones that facilitate meaningful connections between their workforce and these causes.
With profitability and productivity at stake, you can’t afford to overlook effective employee engagement initiatives that empower your employees to give back and engage with social issues in the workplace. The pressure is on to foster a positive company culture and retain top talent, and finding the time and resources can feel overwhelming.

Interested but looking for something a bit more customized? We can help you design a similar event that’s private to your organization. One company was so impressed with our From Seed to Plate event, they decided they wanted a custom version for their employees. We partnered with their leadership, one of their Employee Resource Groups, and a Charity Alliance member to create a special event that worked to engage and inspire employees and was incredibly well-attended. Let us know what you’re thinking about and we can make it happen.
We look forward to offering meaningful experiences for your employees in 2024.
