ABOUT THIS EVENT
There are many levers that drive and inspire employee engagement in corporate social impact initiatives, yet too many organizations fail to see the intersectionality between well-being and engagement. In this presentation, we will delve into the research that identifies why organizations need to prioritize well-being, outline how HR, DEI, and CSR colleagues can collaborate on transforming their internal working environments, and share examples that demonstrate strategies to increase employee participation across volunteering, philanthropy, and Employee Resource Group (ERG) initiatives. Attendees will also have a chance to participate in group discussion to learn from peers and share their own insights and challenges in this area. Join us as we explore the pivotal role well-being strategy can have on corporate social impact programs.
