In this session, Rocky will explore how Technology can disrupt the way companies complement their current Employee Engagement (EE) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Anchored on the assumption that the spirit of charity is innate, he will debate why more organizations should integrate online charitable giving (corporate and individual) into their CSR and EE strategies. The end result? An improved employee value proposition and a focused & quantifiable CSR story!

2. Assumptions:

Charitable giving.
Guided by Millennial values.
3. Experience tells me:
● EE is important to org success - and on the decline
● CSR is important to org success - and unorganized
● Aligning the two is ideal - but it rarely happens
● There is no silver bullet
○ Charitable giving is a small part of EE and CSR but I believe in the right
cultures, their impact will be disproportionately great
● The time for disruptive innovation is now

4. ● Companies contribute / divert corporate giving to their People
○ Team members and/or their customers
○ People choose where they want to give
● Or Companies keep doing what they are doing...but more efficiently

8. ● Charitable giving is not a hair-on-fire issue
○ For employee engagement (other drivers) or CSR (environment)
○ Perception that charity is a “loss” opposed to an “opportunity”
● Corporate giving aligned to CEO/Board
● Perception of a program being administratively heavy
● Change is difficult
Nothing Technology & a little Client Success can’t solve!

Current roadblocks to overcome.
9. ● Would it change the way you view and talk about your company?
● Might it help attract new talent?
● Can you envision an improved CSR story?
● How do you think your team members would respond?
● How do you think your leadership team would respond?

Imagine...
10. You are likely in one of these buckets:
● Not doing anything today
● Giving, but it’s not organized, measurable or communicated
● Giving is organized and measurable but is administratively heavy
● In all cases, Chimp.net might be the innovation you need.
