If your business increases and improves engagement, productivity rises, efficiency improves, and profits increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, we explore some of the key drivers that fuel engagement and why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemyeyes.com\/business\/corporate-volunteering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corporate volunteering<\/a> is an excellent employee engagement strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contents\">Contents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#h-what-actually-fuels-engagement\">What actually fuels engagement<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-why-corporate-volunteering-works\">Why corporate volunteering works<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#h-corporate-volunteering-with-be-my-eyes\">Corporate volunteering with Be My Eyes<\/a><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-actually-fuels-engagement\">What actually fuels engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Across roles and industries, the same core drivers of engagement keep showing up. These typically include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) Meaning and purpose:<\/strong> People want to know that what they do matters. It\u2019s telling that <a href=\"https:\/\/volunteerhub.com\/blog\/20-corporate-volunteerism-statistics#:~:text=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">74% of workers<\/a> say creating a culture of volunteerism at work gives them an improved sense of purpose, a powerful motivator. When everyday tasks clearly connect to a bigger mission or real-world impact, work feels less transactional and more personal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Recognition and appreciation: <\/strong>Feeling <em>seen<\/em> and <em>valued<\/em> matters. Recognition doesn\u2019t have to be expensive or formal; even a genuine thank-you or shout-out can go a long way. It\u2019s not just feel-good fluff with about <a href=\"https:\/\/nectarhr.com\/blog\/employee-recognition-statistics#:~:text=4.%2081.9,Their%20Contributions%20Improves%20Their%20Engagement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4 in 5 employees<\/a> saying that being recognized for their contributions improves their engagement at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Growth and development:<\/strong> Most employees want to learn, stretch, and advance. Stagnation, on the other hand, is a surefire engagement killer. When organizations invest in their people\u2019s development, employees feel supported rather than stuck. It even boosts retention, with a major survey finding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rallyware.com\/blog\/94-of-employees-wouldnt-quit-if-the-employee-learning-opportunities-were-right#:~:text=expect%20opportunities%20for%20training%20and,invested%20in%20helping%20them%20learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">94% of employees<\/a> would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Connection and belonging:<\/strong> Work is social. Trust, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging on the team all strengthen commitment. People who feel they belong at work are far more engaged. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/grow.betterup.com\/resources\/the-value-of-belonging-at-work-the-business-case-for-investing-in-workplace-inclusion-event#:~:text=The%20Value%20of%20Belonging%20at,Work%3A%20Investing%20in%20Workplace%20Inclusion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one study showed<\/a> a strong sense of belonging leads to a 56% increase in job performance and a 50% drop in turnover risk. When employees have positive relationships and feel included, they\u2019ll give more of themselves to their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-corporate-volunteering-works\">Why corporate volunteering works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge is that many engagement initiatives acknowledge these drivers <em>in theory<\/em>, but in practice, the day-to-day employee experience does not typically deliver on them. That gap between words and reality is where disengagement breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemyeyes.com\/business\/corporate-volunteering\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corporate volunteering<\/a> has started to stand out as a powerful solution. And, a well-designed volunteering program naturally brings all these engagement drivers to life in a way traditional internal programs often struggle to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ways corporate volunteering helps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1) It creates immediate meaning: <\/strong>Rather than hearing about the company&#8217;s mission in a presentation, employees actually <em>see<\/em> the impact of their time and effort in real situations. Whether it\u2019s planting trees, mentoring youth, or assisting someone with a need via an app, volunteering offers a direct line to purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) It reinforces recognition and pride: <\/strong>Contributing to something bigger than business-as-usual often brings a quiet sense of pride to employees. They don\u2019t need a trophy or an all-hands announcement to feel good about what they\u2019ve done; the act of helping is its own reward. Volunteering creates moments where leaders can also see their teams shine outside the usual metrics, leading to more genuine appreciation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) It supports personal growth and learning:<\/strong> Volunteering often calls on skills and strengths that employees might not use in their everyday roles. Many HR leaders see this benefit too and in one survey, <a href=\"https:\/\/volunteerhub.com\/blog\/20-corporate-volunteerism-statistics#:~:text=,Within%20an%20Organization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">65% of HR executives<\/a> said volunteering had a positive impact on employees\u2019 skill development. Unlike formal training programs, volunteering lets people learn by doing, in real-world situations that require problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as importantly, the best corporate volunteering programs need to be easy to join and flexible enough to fit the reality of working lives. Good programs make volunteering an opportunity, not an obligation or a logistical nightmare, and when participation is easily accessible, engagement naturally follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-corporate-volunteering-with-be-my-eyes\">Corporate volunteering with Be My Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses, Be My Eyes works extremely well because it removes many of the usual hurdles to volunteering. No travel or full-day commitment is required. Employees can volunteer from wherever they are (particularly useful for global remote or hybrid teams), and calls only take a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of a Be My Eyes session &#8211; which connects a blind or low-vision person to a sighted volunteer through a one-way video stream &#8211; is immediate and personal. When a call comes in, within seconds, a volunteer is connected to someone who genuinely needs their help <em>in that moment. <\/em>It might be a blind user asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCan you tell me what this label says?\u201d <\/em>or <em>\u201cWhich of these two buttons on my device is the right one?\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volunteer then helps that person in real time, often leaving a call with an incredible feeling of <em>\u201cI just tangibly helped someone\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That human-to-human connection, even through a phone, stays with people long after the call ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to find out what this looks like in action, read our Zain case study here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bemyeyes.com\/business\/zain-case-study\/ \">https:\/\/www.bemyeyes.com\/business\/zain-case-study\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, if you\u2019re ready to start improving employee engagement and want to learn more then download our free eBook, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/info.bemyeyes.com\/corporate-volunteering]\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to drive employee engagement with corporate volunteering<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/web-interactives\/public\/v1\/track\/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLmPzQCeYePTNg2PCx8ubnfEAW7myWmrtEx5iGN6CU4oQamuv12yHeshzGm4Gd%2FmP2iVLs3kckzfddsKZGvZRUryifbtIfnNBomp6iq7%2FdWq9X6ypBYHn72n0eYeuFMbCVAXierqwrWt42zYK1IEM%2B09prn3h3UjTLvGXD5CqMSmxXZ2wjnvZBXKgzyniJvkFHd7g%3D%3D&amp;webInteractiveContentId=196887673272&amp;portalId=6577197\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6577197\/interactive-196887673272.png\" alt=\"Download the FREE eBook\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gallup\u2019s State of the Global Workplace report puts a hard number on something many leaders feel: 85% of employees are not engaged or are actively disengaged at work.
