What does your company stand for??
Being Geared for Giving is a mark of what your organisation stands for.
Is yours the kind of company that cares deeply about its public reputation? Does your business plan take account of growing numbers of employees, consumers and other stakeholders who believe it’s vital for companies to act ethically?
More and more enlightened employers recognise and acknowledge the benefits of being Geared for Giving. Are you one of them?
Fantastic! We’re delighted to know you already operate a Workplace Giving scheme. You have joined a growing number of forward thinking companies.
But, while some companies may operate the scheme, their colleagues are not always aware it’s there. Is that you? We hope not, we want every employer to operate the scheme to be truly Geared for Giving.
Are you truly Geared for Giving?
It means actively promoting your Workplace Giving scheme so that colleagues are aware of its benefits. Then they can make an informed decision about giving to charity. And when they choose to give, it’s about making the process straightforward.
Show your support for what matters to your staff
Many Geared for Giving employers choose to enhance their employee donations. There are lots of ways you can do this. And any enhancement you make shows you support the causes your colleagues care about. It also gives you an easy mechanism for supporting your corporate charity partner
Make your scheme award winning
In organisations successfully Geared for Giving, employees are encouraged to take part in Workplace Giving and to share a rewarding sense of ‘giving something back’. The government’s own Quality Mark for business encourages 10% staff participation in Workplace Giving – but why stop there? Who knows what you might do if you actively promote your scheme?
Doing something good is not always about the PR you receive, but more employers are using the success of their scheme to show the wider public that they are a good company. And why not shout about your success and encourage other employers by making your scheme award winning. Many HR, Payroll and CSR publications offer a range of awards that you could enter.
