Tell us about your role at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ.
I’m responsible for leading 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµâ€™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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµâ€™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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ, 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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ support employee charitable giving and volunteerism?
All 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ employees have access to 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Cares, our internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform, where they can:
- Access information about 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ's sustainability, diversity, and giving programs
- Apply for the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ 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 – 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ allows regular full-time and part-time employees paid time off each year to volunteer
- For every hour volunteered, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ 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 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Matching Gift Program increased by 35%, and those using the companywide volunteer time-off policy increased by 96%.
