Giving Something Back - The extent to which employees feel their organisation has a positive impact on society
Giving Something Back focuses on the organisation’s social responsibilities. If key factors such as ‘Leadership’ and ‘My Manager’ are performing well, it can influence the improvement of all the other factors, boosting your overall engagement.
The company has a social committee tasked with arranging all events, from summer and winter parties to dinners, bowling, competitions, karaoke and escape rooms. And staff don't need to worry about being out of pocket as there's a £250 social budget set aside for everyone.
New recruits are made to feel welcome before they start with a special pack and regular updates. On day one, they get all the equipment they need to hit the ground running and gifted merchandise. As an ice-breaker, a Q&A with them is shared on internal channels, and their manager treats them to lunch.
Employees get an annual Airtime Rewards-sponsored day to volunteer or fundraise for charity. The company donates a minimum of £500 when colleagues complete charity events. And when an employee's completed their probation, the company contributes to the charity they mentioned in their new starter Q&A.
Youth Sports Trust prioritises employee wellbeing with initiatives like Wellbeing Champions, Active 30 team, and Menopause Champions. It has also developed a Wellbeing policy and a Wellbeing Charter to support its staff's mental, emotional, and social wellness.
Leadership at the Trust is committed to living out the organisation's values, promoting them during corporate inductions, training, and staff reward programmes. They further demonstrate responsibility through the creation of an employee engagement action plan.
Youth Sport Trust gives back to society through initiatives like the Generation Charnwood project, which focuses on enhancing the wellbeing and life chances of local young people. The organisation also promotes sustainable and active lifestyles through staff wellbeing initiatives.
KP Snacks demonstrates its commitment to fair treatment through financial support initiatives in collaboration with Grocery Aid, offering financial grants and a one-off cost of living payment to colleagues earning £35,000 or less per annum.
KP Snacks' leadership ensures transparency and clarity through regular updates on the KP4ME portal and on-site townhall meetings. They promote organisational values and provide strategic direction, enhancing employee engagement.
KP Snacks' 'Community Heroes' initiative encourages employees to support local community projects. Additionally, the company's sustainable strategy, 'People & Planet', highlights its commitment to environmental responsibility.
Open GI champions a blended learning approach. It believes development happens in everyday interactions, not just through formal learning. Employees are encouraged to be insightful and make the most of every opportunity. The company’s personal growth resources include webinars and podcasts, as well as a wide range of content on its learning management system.
Wellbeing initiatives have continued to take place as part of a calendar of events. There have been initiatives centring around blood pressure, grief and loss, ADHD and Mental Health Awareness Week, amongst other important issues. There have also been improvements to the wellbeing section on the company intranet.
The company hosted a "sustainability day" to raise awareness about how employees can be more eco-friendly, inside and outside work. During the event, Open GI launched its electric vehicle and hybrid car leasing scheme, through which employees can buy an EV or hybrid vehicle at a reduced price through salary sacrifice.
As the firm is employee-owned, all staff are entitled to an equal profit share bonus each year. Employees also get gift vouchers on milestone birthdays, weddings and for babies. At Christmas, staff can choose a voucher or donate to a food bank. And there are plenty of sweet treats and free breakfasts at quarter end.
