The Giving Connection: Investing in Your Collective Impact
Featured Speakers: Matthew Nelson, Corporate Vice President of Corporate Responsibility, New York Life; Heather Lofkin Wright, Corporate Responsibility Director, PwC US; and Wendi Safstrom, Executive Director SHRM Foundation
About this session: Typical employee wellness program elements include things like health club membership discounts, healthy choices on the lunchroom menu, step competitions or walk/run discounts, and smoke-free policies. But another great way to invest in employee health is through workplace giving. A wide range of research has linked different forms of generosity to better health. In fact, UnitedHealth Group’s 2017 Doing Good is Good for You Study found that 75 percent of U.S. adults feel physically healthier just by volunteering. The mental and emotional benefits of volunteering are even greater, with 93 percent reporting an improved mood, 79 percent reporting lower stress levels, and 88 percent reporting increased self-esteem by giving back. Furthermore, including an Employee Assistance Fund as part of your workplace giving and employee wellness program can help employees cope with personal issues that can have a negative impact on their job performance. This panel explores how such programs help companies set standards for employee engagement and foster a healthier, more positive workplace. Learn how all of these factors drive a company’s success – both internally and within the greater community.
