Do Good Today helps companies offer impactful corporate volunteer experiences without the hassle of managing them directly
Why Your Company Should Volunteer
Do-Good-Today takes the stress of coordinating an unusual group event off your desk.
Each volunteer experience offers your employees:
- An empathy-building opportunity - the chance to do something outside their field of expertise
- A boost in mental health - volunteering decreases depression and increases a sense of well-being
- A moment of gratitude - helping those in need offers us a fresh, new perspective
Studies show that prospective employees are more interested in companies that support philanthropy. Volunteering:
- Increases employee longevity
- Encourages team building and promotes trust
- Instills company and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values
