Measuring the Impact of Corporate Volunteering on a Company’s Performance

Is it possible to measure the cause-and-effect relationships between employee volunteering and a company’s performance? Realized Worth is inviting companies from all over the world to join the first scientific study that will empirically measure the impact of corporate volunteering on overall performance – for free!

In their work with clients, Realized Worth always looks for specific metrics that allow them to understand the cause-and-effect relationships between employee volunteering and a company’s performance. This process can be difficult. What has been missing is an external scientific study that empirically measures the impact of corporate volunteering on a firm’s performance.

This is all about to change. In partnership with Realized Worth and CorpsGiving, the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver (Colorado, USA) is conducting a two-year research project on the topic. Participating companies will benefit from a customized analysis of the ROI of its employee volunteering programs. The goal is to provide evidenced based justification for financial investment in these types of CSR programs. Additionally, participating firms will be given the credentials to aggregate data from the study, enabling evaluation of and modifications for improving the ROI of corporate volunteering strategies.

Interested companies will also receive recognition in an academic journal when the study is published.

Want to Join the Study?

If you’re interested, contact Realized Worth by calling (855) 926-4678 or email contact@realizedworth.com. Realized Worth will put you in touch directly with the researcher, and then she will help conform the study to exactly your needs. You’ll have access to the results as soon as they are analyzed.
