Top Trends from the First Year of our Giving and Volunteering Program, Collectively

Having surpassed one full year of Collectively, we鈥檝e got a sneak peek for you into the top trends from the program鈥檚 first trip round the sun.

First Year of Collectively

网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 launched CollectivelySM on June 1, 2020. Not only did we launch the program to all 50,000 eligible users, but we also launched in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We trained 140 volunteers 鈥 our Collectively Ambassadors 鈥 before launch day, immersing them in the powers of the platform and equipping them with the tools to spread the word from within their local offices and through the eight 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 Employee Networks.

The Collectively Ambassadors foster a culture that connects 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区鈥 colleagues to their passions, all while upholding our approach to sustainability and demonstrating our global responsibility to make the world a better place for everyone. The network drives engagement and puts words into actions through development and promotion of giving and volunteering opportunities.

Our people helped non-profits within their communities during a year unlike any other. Collectively, we donated $3 million to charities all around the world; donated and volunteered our time to 3,000 charities across 33 countries; and tracked 14,000 volunteer hours 鈥 both on and off company time.

鈥淲e have been so inspired not only by the trends from the data of Collectively鈥檚 first year, but also the stories we鈥檝e heard along the way,鈥 said PlanBeyond Engagement Manager and Collectively Program Manager, Jo Jeffreys. 鈥淔rom the data we can see the power that #Our网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 family has through our collective action, generosity and kindness as we continue to influence positive change within our local communities all around the world.鈥

Giving & Volunteering Over Time

Giving Over Time

From Black History Month to Mental Health Month; International Women鈥檚 Day to Earth Day, we鈥檝e come together to support the causes which truly matter to our people. 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区鈥 matching campaigns, curated by our Collectively Ambassadors, attracted 4,300 employees who wished to make a difference in the world, year-round. The matching campaigns were tied to key dates of global importance and aligned with our Employee Networks 鈥 and now, we have open matching, meaning that 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 will match employee donations to all of the eligible causes on Collectively, up to a set user cap each year.

Collectively witnessed an exponential increase in new users, donor generosity, and tracked volunteer hours throughout the 鈥淕iving Season鈥 in December. Giving season was the first time 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 opened its doors to a month of open matching, with 2,500 employees 鈥 1,500 of whom were brand new users 鈥 to donate a combined total (including 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区鈥 matching) of $658,000 to 1,600 charities all around the world.

#Our网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 Top Volunteer of the year

In total, 485 网曝吃瓜黑料一区二区三区 employees tracked over 14,000 hours of volunteering throughout the first year of Collectively. But no-one created as much quantifiable (and adorable!) impact as Ciara Murphy, Associate Director for Stakeholder Engagement & Communications and Collectively Office Ambassador for Cork, Ireland, who tracked a whopping 999 volunteer hours!

Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland

Ciara started volunteering for  (AADI) in April 2020, just as COVID-19 was initially escalating in many parts of the world. AADI is an Irish charity whose mission is to change the world for children with autism. Ciara fosters puppies in training, including full-time puppy care all the way to training in busy locations such as shopping centers and public transport. Ciara has volunteered her time to foster two puppies 鈥 one golden retriever, called Ceili, and a Labrador retriever, called Bo.

鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 feel like volunteering as I get as much out of it as the puppies but fostering plays a vital role in providing a solid foundation for AADI puppies before their formal training,鈥 said Ciara. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a really rewarding and fluffy silver lining to my pandemic experience.鈥
