Volunteering makes a huge difference in the lives of others. From dishing out meals in a soup kitchen to cleaning up trash in a park to holding babies in the NICU, volunteering gives tremendous help to people in need, worthy causes and the community. Simply put, it helps make the world a better place.

But, did you know that volunteering also has benefits for you? Researchers have found that volunteering can give you a positive attitude, increased social interaction and physical activity — all things that make a healthier person in the long run.

The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.

Women as healers harken back to ancient times. Healing is the personal experience of transcending suffering and transforming it to wholeness. The gift of hope spreads light to the lives of others and reflects a belief in the unlimited possibilities of this and future generations. Together, healing and hope are essential fuels for our dreams and our recovery.

To understand how best to prepare for a corporate volunteering activity, it’s essential to know what employees want from their volunteering experiences. 

Once their needs are identified, the company can work to meet them.

The top four factors for an enjoyable employee volunteering experience are:

The project is clearly organized with a defined scope and expected results: send invites, include an agenda, share catering options, and any other information you think could help your employees volunteer.

This is essential for ensuring employee buy-in.

Ample information about the nonprofit or cause: help employees understand who it is they’re helping with their volunteering.

No pressure from employer or colleagues: employees don’t want to be pushed or guilted into volunteering activities—they want to make the decision for themselves.

Ability to volunteer during business hours: give employees paid time off (PTO) in order to encourage them to volunteer without losing out financially.

                                                       
                                                       

Volunteer recruitment is the essential first step in building your organization's base of on-the-ground (or virtual) support.

Organizations of all shapes and sizes rely on volunteers to turn their missions into concrete action.

No matter what your organization's volunteers and supporters do to further your mission, you have to provide them with solid management strategies and the right tools. 

But first, you have to recruit them to join your cause.

In addition to evaluating all the necessary measures to ensure the safety of your employees and partners, caring for emotional health and empathy with the rehabilitation process are differentials of companies that take care of their people.

The ethics of care is a premise of corporate social responsibility.

In some countries, companies have played a key role in ensuring a return
safe in face-to-face work amidst so many uncertainties of the post-Covid future.

Prple can help with this task:

1. Making it possible to create interaction actions between employees, whether digital or face-to-face, that cultivate bonds, affection, and mutual care through social actions.

2. Enabling the creation of groups that propose actions for a safe and healthy return physically and emotionally.

3. As a tool for employees to dialogue with a focus on solving the problems of vulnerable people who need it most.

In an Edelman survey, 98% of US institutional investors use ESG rating agencies as part of their investment decisions. And that changes the lives of companies.

In addition to strategic management tools, these criteria can also be an effective means of internal engagement for sustainability.

Do you believe that working ESG in your company, amid this boom that the subject is going through, can strengthen internal engagement with sustainable practices?

For this to happen, it is necessary to link practices to purposes:
- If your company decides to practice ESG just to report to the market, you have a superficial level of purpose and engagement.


- If your company believes that transforming itself with sustainable practices changes realities, businesses, and people for the better, then employee engagement will legitimately increase.
So, if you need to comply with ESG in any way, it's better to do it for real!

How are social projects impacting your company?

According to Jon Lloyd for Corporate Citizenship, due to the growth of the
interest about the ESG criteria, the letter S has often been linked to the word "impact" when companies want to show what they are delivering value to society.

"The word most used by companies to meet this expectation and demonstrate its social value is "impact," it says.

Unfortunately, if we evaluate carefully, we can see that there is a lot of misinformation on this topic and misuse of the concept.

According to the author, 3 main areas that any company that is
seeking to assess their impact will do well to consider are:

1. Show, don't say: saying that you do an action or have a project does not mean that turned a reality.

2. Don't (just) show the money: monetizing the impact is often all that matters to investors. But how best to make tangible and communicate the impact generated to other stakeholders?

3. Have some principles: keep quality principles that make your
impact study be more effective, such as focus, alignment, clarity, and
practicality.

Does it make sense to you?

Let us know what the difficulties are in assessing your company's impact, and certainly, we can be partners in this.
