Community strategy
Forward thinking companies invest in long term community partnerships and link community causes to commercial objectives. They recognise the value of managing these partnerships and measuring the impact they have, not only for the community, but also in the business.
We can help you define your strategy and its link to business objectives, then plan, monitor and evaluate it. We can help to identify partners, broker relationships, develop employee engagement and deliver an effective communications strategy. We work with clients on all aspects of community investment, both in home markets and around the world.
Human resource management
We’ve been at the forefront of groundbreaking research with leading companies to examine the effect of corporate community involvement, particularly employee volunteering and involvement, on developing and retaining employees.
We were instrumental in establishing the CECILE Network – the pan-European network supported by some of Europe’s leading companies and the European Commission to develop employee involvement throughout the continent. We wrote the definitive guides to the internationalisation and measurement of employee involvement.
We can provide you with advice on the most effective ways to involve your employees in your community programmes. We can also help to establish monitoring systems to ensure that volunteering becomes a valuable staff-development tool.
