    Is Your Company Maximizing Its Impact in the Community? Insights from the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment and an analysis of S&P Global's 2022 Community Impact Report. As corporations strive to benchmark their sustainability efforts, the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment stands out, used by over 10,000 firms worldwide. A critical area of this assessment is "Social Impacts on Communities," where even industry leaders find room for growth. S&P Global, ranking in the top 1% of responders, showcases a commitment to community engagement. However, when delving into the figures, opportunities emerge for enhancing employee participation in these initiatives. For example: - Despite S&P's impressive commitment, less than 5% of its 40,000 employees report volunteering, contrasting with the 25% national average. Those who do contribute average 10 hours annually, significantly below the American average of 52 hours. - A vast majority of S&P employees are not leveraging the company's generous social impact benefits, including up to 40 hours of PTO for volunteering substantial donation matching programs, including $500 per 25 hours of volunteering. These statistics suggest not a lack of generosity among S&P employees but potential tech and behavioral barriers to participation. Recognizing this, S&P Global has launched a new technology platform aimed at enhancing employee volunteerism and contributions. What This Means for Your Company This analysis isn't just about S&P Global; it's a reflection on the broader corporate community. It prompts us to ask: Are our employees facing similar barriers? How can we more effectively mobilize our workforce to make a tangible impact? I believe that with the right tools and approaches, we can significantly increase employee engagement in CSR activities. My software aims to address these challenges by making it easier for employees to participate in and report their volunteering efforts and their donations to charitable causes. Preliminary results have shown promising improvements in volunteerism metrics. Let's Collaborate to Make a Difference Your company's commitment to CSR, combined with effective tools, could unlock the full potential of your workforce to contribute positively to the community. Are you facing similar challenges in employee community engagement? How are you addressing them? Share your thoughts, and let's explore how we can work together to create meaningful change. #CorporateSustainability #CSR #EmployeeEngagement #SocialImpact #Volunteerism #CommunityEngagement #Sustainability #InnovationInCSR #TechForGood #PartnershipForImpact Sources in comments

    Side Nerd is hosting a networking happy hour for Charlottesville region non-profit volunteer engagement professionals next month; drop a comment or DM if you’d like to join! With volunteer appreciation week coming up in April, we’ll create appreciation gifts for some of your key volunteers (materials provided) and chat about volunteer appreciation ideas (and anything else that comes up)! Through our work with Ither, our text message-based volunteer tracking, I’ve had the pleasure of being welcomed into several communities of volunteers engagement professionals. These helpers of helpers are doing admirable work to multiply the community impact of their organization. I’m a big believer in community, and what a lovely group of people to bring together.

    I assist social impact agencies increase their effectiveness by helping them leverage their volunteer workforce.

    One of the hardest things about being a leader of volunteers is that you are often the only one in an organization. It can feel very isolating, so it’s important to find a community of volunteer professionals. https://lnkd.in/guHMjmDs #lovols #community #volunteer

    Dominique Cocuzza and Emily Smith went out on the town with the ladies to promote the beta launch of Dominique's custom app, #NuAge, built on the Side Nerd platform. "Despite the fact that half of the human population experiences menopause, it is still taboo. Every year, millions of dollars are spent on education and products for menstruation and motherhood, but there is little to no attention is paid the other M word. The NuAge app makes health tracking and behavior change FUN because self-care should be rewarding, not just another chore." Dominique's program was designed to reduce hot flashes without hormones or supplements. Side Nerd joined the party, enabling women to track and visualize their menopause symptoms and their compliance to the 4 week program, totally over natural language texting. Join us in this journey to empower women through technology (but not that mainstream tech we love to hate. Just SMS ;). "Let's embrace change, support one another, and make menopause management a little easier and a lot more connected." You can join the NuAge Facebook Group to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eu5ivt5X #MenopauseManagement #WomenInTech #BetaTesting #EmpoweringWomen #HealthTech

    This would be a great opportunity for one of Side Nerd's product owner intern alums! Your background as an econ major, together with the data skills and thinking you used to build your own data tracking app and Looker visualization last summer, should set you up for success in a product analytics role. In fact, I have seen several UVA econ BAs, including Aakash Tandel and Muhammed Shakeri, transition into engaging product analytics roles. #careergrowth #internships
