And who better to explain the impact that this program makes on the world than the employees who have participated themselves? Read more below in USA TODAY to hear from our own Theresa Miller, Nick Kennedy, and Sarah Kennedy as they share their experiences and the life-changing impact this program has had on them. #TopWorkplaces #NextGenerationOfLeaders #USATodayTopWorkplaces

This article got me thinking about the value of genuine connections over formal exteriors, an underlying theme being that authenticity shouldn't be tucked away during 9-5. With Gen Z entering the workforce, nonprofits face so many opportunities. This generation's approach to careers offers insights into creating a more inclusive, balanced, and mission-driven workplace. I'd like more conversations exploring and redefining what it means to have a fulfilling career in service. Here's to creating environments were ideas flow as freely as casual Friday vibes, every day.

Here's how the most caring companies in America are helping employees give back and volunteer in their communities.

I agree with the words of Winston Churchill, "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." We find true fulfillment and purpose when we give back, and our team at Insperity is committed to giving back to the community in many ways. For #Insperity’s Michael Timmes, volunteering with his local SHRM gives him a chance to pass on the years of experience and insight he’s gained in the HR industry. It's just one way we try to make our industry, the businesses we serve, and our communities a better place. #HumanResources #Volunteering #Education #HRThatMakesADifference https://lnkd.in/eWuU22Dd
