Speaking Corporate: Navigating Realities of Employee Volunteer Engagement

Corporate volunteerism is changing, and many of the factors influencing employee engagement happen behind the scenes. As nonprofits navigate shifting corporate priorities, understanding what drives volunteer and social impact programs can help build stronger partnerships and create more meaningful engagement opportunities.

This session will explore current trends shaping the landscape, including increased pressure to demonstrate business value and measurable outcomes, evolving approaches to employee resource groups, heightened legal and reputational risk considerations, and the growing need for companies to do more with fewer resources.

We'll also examine the rise of national and global volunteer providers, the importance of aligning opportunities with corporate giving and CSR priorities, and what employees continue to seek from volunteer experiences.

A panel of corporate leaders will provide candid insights into how decisions are made, what they look for in nonprofit partners, and how organizations can successfully position themselves in today's changing corporate engagement environment.

Participants will leave with a better understanding of the current landscape, practical partnership strategies, and opportunities to ask questions directly of corporate leaders.
