5 Keys to Attracting and Keeping Socially-Mindful Employees

According to a survey of nearly 1,600 United States employees by America’s Charities, companies that build effective workplace giving and volunteering programs have a significant leg up when it comes to attracting talent.

America’s Charities’ employee research found nearly 6 in 10 workplace donors want to work for companies where the culture supports giving and volunteering.

That’s a significant number, and it shows that today’s employees are placing a high value on charitable opportunities in the workplace.
