In May, Refresh Leadership asked their readers how their companies help employees give back, and with 24% of the votes, “Donation drives (food, blood, clothing, etc.)” was the top choice. In second place was “Company-sponsored volunteer events” with 17%, followed by “Paid time off for volunteer/charitable activities” in third with 14%.

The rest of the results were as follows:

Corporate partnerships with local nonprofits – 13%

Allow employees to pick which organizations/causes the company supports – 10%

Matching employee donation funds – 9%

Opportunities to provide company services/products pro bono – 6%

Another 7% of respondents selected the “Other” option and submitted their own thoughts on the question, including:

Payroll deductions for charitable contributions

Sponsor events and give employees tickets

Fundraisers for fellow employees in need

Donate $500 to nonprofit once you record 25 volunteer hours
