TAKEAWAYS

  • Creating a culture of giving back to local nonprofits boosts employee morale, job satisfaction, and retention.

  • Recognizing the value of this outlet for employees, Eli Blackman co-founded Field Day, aiming to fill the gap in the market for tools that empower companies and employees to participate in volunteer activities together.

  • Volunteering shouldn’t be forced; instead, once employees participate of their own accord, they make connections that inspire and spur them to continue.

  • Leaders must address the challenge of relationship-building among their hybrid workforce, and one way to do so is through volunteering initiatives.

  • 80% of employees who participate in volunteer events see a decrease in stress and report an improvement in mental health.

  • Companies that integrate corporate social responsibility into their culture see a 50% decrease in turnover.
