EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
EdelGive takes great pride in the volunteering culture that exists in Edelweiss. Our Employee Engagement Programme offers a structured platform that connects non-profits in need of voluntary support to the Edelweiss workforce who are inclined towards making a contribution to the social sector.
Employees are encouraged to not only donate in monetary terms but also contribute their time, skills and expertise to the non-profit organizations on a pro-bono basis. Such non-financial support involves direct interaction with the beneficiaries and requires employees to develop high quality solutions to specific organizational challenges by contributing towards capacity building projects. EdelGive also extends support to external agencies adopting similar programmes, and guides them towards integrating structured employee engagement into their organisation’s DNA.
Our success in running employee engagement programs have won Edelweiss the Leader in Employee Volunteering at the iVolunteer Awards 2017.
