Doing good can be very good for business
If you do it right.
We specialise in creating programs and community partnerships that:
are cost-effective;
build key, targeted skills in your people, that are readily transferrable to core business;
inspire and instil pride in your staff;
build relationships within your firm and with valued clients;
enable your people to support causes that are important to them;
enhance your corporate reputation; and
most importantly, make a genuine, meaningful difference.
We have more than 20 years experience in this space, across provision pro bono professional services, community service and volunteering programs, awareness campaigns, workplace giving, corporate social responsibility and strategic philanthropy.
We can help you with:
Program establishment: we can guide all aspects of program establishment, helping you to assemble the right people whether internal or external, make introductions and broker rewarding community partnerships.
Refreshing your existing program: we can review your current program and, working within your budget, suggest simple changes to revitalise and target your program to deliver benefits to your community, your staff and your firm
Creating new, innovative signature programs: if there is a strong desire within your firm to make a difference in relation to a specific issue, community or charity, we can help you create a bespoke program that makes a meaningful difference and is both effective and uniquely yours.
Support for your people and programs: some firms need a little support on their pro bono/CSR journey. Have you hired a motivated and passionate professional to drive your program and want to ensure they are set up for success? We are here with the evidence-base, ideas, decades of experience and connections to help you on your journey.
Off-the-shelf programs: If you are looking for a strategically targeted, branded program, we have an array of options to choose from; like our unique “It Takes a Village” Program which connects your professionals with their families and communities in a meaningful way.
Just one thing…
If you want to set up a program simply to “tick a box” or generate some good PR, we are not the right firm for you. Tokenism in this space is a waste of resources, increases your risk of external reputational damage, and can feed internal cynicism and mistrust. “Show programs” absorb similar amounts of time and resources as real, efficiently-run programs.
Before you go down that path, let us show you how you can leverage finite time and resources to create a program that has a positive impact whilst boosting the skills and engagement of your people, and reputation of your firm.
