Tell us about your role at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP.
I’m responsible for leading Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP’s global charitable giving and volunteering activities, while supporting the programs of our charitable partners. Having spent almost 15 years in the nonprofit sector, I’m passionate about strengthening existing partnerships and building new ones, as well as supporting worthy causes across the globe that help fulfil Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP’s purpose to make financial protection accessible to all. It’s wonderful to be able to live that purpose every day.
I’m helping our employees understand and leverage the community programs and volunteer benefits available to them through Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP, as we work to reach our enterprise strategy goal of having at least 50% of employees engaged in volunteerism, diversity, or sustainability efforts by the end of 2026.
How does Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP support employee charitable giving and volunteerism?
All Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP employees have access to Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP Cares, our internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform, where they can:
- Access information about Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP's sustainability, diversity, and giving programs
- Apply for the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP Matching Gifts Program and make financial contributions to more than six million charities in our database
- Create and manage team volunteer projects
- Find volunteer opportunities and track personal volunteerism – Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP allows regular full-time and part-time employees paid time off each year to volunteer
- For every hour volunteered, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP donates $20 to a charity of choice as part of the new Dollars for Doers global initiative
In 2022 alone, the number of employees using the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPP Matching Gift Program increased by 35%, and those using the companywide volunteer time-off policy increased by 96%.
