CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
Doing good is good for your business
Changing workforce dynamic
Competition to attract and retain talent is fierce.
Most of the labor force is looking at employment and the world differently. Employees want more from their employer than a paycheck.
Strong corporate social responsibility is among the growing incentives to attract talent, enhance job performance, grow skill sets and retain great employees.
Community Engagement as the Differentiator
Corporate citizenship refers to a company’s responsibilities toward society.
Corporate citizenship is proven to be good for employees, good for the organization’s public reputation and good for the community.
United Way of the Ozarks offers a variety of opportunities to strengthen your corporate citizenship by engaging your organization – and your workforce – in the community.
What is Community Engagement in a Box?
Community Engagement in a Box is a physical toolbox we’re giving to area employers. It contains the collection of resources found on this website.
We want to help organizational leaders connect the dots between their employees’ community engagement and their ability to:
- Attract and retain talent.
- Create a more engaging and healthy organizational culture.
- Boost their employee loyalty.
- Help their employees become their best recruiters.
Organizations that do this well will have a consistent competitive advantage.
“We try to balance culture and work. We ask ourselves, ‘How can I live my life values while having a rewarding career?’ Living these values inside and outside of work, our people represent who Paddio is. They become our natural recruiters.”
Engage Your Workforce
Your employees want to help make a difference where they can.
Why not provide opportunities that offer a new environment for them to work together and strengthen their skills and personal connections?
“Our employees return from volunteer engagements with new skills. They come back as better leaders, hone their presentation skills, have greater compassion and empathy, and gain more knowledge about the things happening just a few blocks away.”
