How Howden found a nonprofit partner that checks all their boxes

Charlie Brook — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 08:54:09 GMT

For international companies, it’s not easy to find relevant nonprofit partners in the areas where your employees are based, particularly those that hit specific business and logistical requirements. In the case of IPG Howden, their team already has established partners in some of the cities where their employees are based. But when it came to putting together a volunteering activity at a company offsite in Taipei, Taiwan, the challenge was finding a suitable nonprofit in the region that could accommodate their large-scale event.

Auto Trader offers employees localised volunteering

Charlie Brook — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:42:42 GMT

When we initially launched with Benevity, we reached out to our People Team to get an understanding of where our colleagues across the business were located. This was important to ensure that all areas in the U.K. had opportunities for volunteering on the platform.

Helen Robinson

D&I Community Engagement Manager

One of Helen Robinson’s and Sarah Eaves’ top priorities while building the CSR programme at Auto Trader is to provide equal opportunities for all employees to use their allowance of volunteering days to support causes that are close to home. That’s why they partnered up with Benevity to offer localised volunteering activities and engage employees in the company’s environmental and social impact initiatives around the U.K.

A global volunteering week that's close to the company's core mission

Charlie Brook — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:42:39 GMT

We decided to organise the first field volunteering activity at Glovo to offer an opportunity for our colleagues to do good beyond the walls of Glovo, while connecting with other teammates and gathering in small groups to share experiences. Benevity helped a lot by connecting us with nonprofits and getting specific information and details on the volunteering activities that were necessary for us to then plan the whole Global Volunteering Week.

Cinta Ardit
Volunteering Lead

To serve their corporate mission of providing access to essential goods to everyone, Glovo proposed a Global Volunteer Week centred around lending support to local food banks. This would give employees the opportunity to contribute their time to a meaningful cause that is close to the company’s core business, developing and managing a technological platform that allows local stores and restaurants to sell to users in cities.

Glovo’s main challenges were to:

Organise a global event that would simultaneously take place across nine different locations.
Connect with nonprofits related to their core business within their desired regions without being on the ground in each area.
Boost employee participation in each location of the programme despite a remote working environment.

The solution?

With the help of Benevity’s database of international nonprofits, Glovo was able to connect with food banks in their desired regions, retrieving the necessary details on each volunteering activity that were crucial for executing their Global Volunteering Week.

How SCOR exceeded their employee engagement expectations

Charlie Brook — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:08:54 GMT

The Benevity platform has made it easier for us to implement our "SCOR" for Good' programme internationally. For our employees around the globe, being able to access and create a variety of different activities on one platform is a real advantage.

Juliette Sarrail
Engagement and HR

SCOR is a global company with offices across 39 countries. Volunteering has been possible for several years, but this was sporadic and at a local level. And so the SCOR for Good programme was born to motivate all employees around the world to participate and make their contribution to society. The programme aims to create uniformity and structure at the group level while giving more visibility to the different engagement opportunities available for their people.
