WHAT IS A WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN?
Turn Employee Engagement into Community Impact
A workplace campaign is a coordinated effort within a company or organization to engage employees in supporting a charitable cause, such as United Way. These campaigns typically involve raising funds through employee donations, either through one-time contributions or payroll deductions. Workplace campaigns often include various activities and events to generate excitement and participation, such as kickoff events, team challenges, volunteer opportunities, and educational sessions about the work of United Way in the community.
