The race to secure and maintain high-quality talent is no easy feat for companies but critically important for successful businesses. Today, corporations must balance their reputation, brand, and values with a purposeful talent management strategy to remain competitive and appeal to current and potential employees. The talent crisis and the growing anxiety around talent mismatch continue to drive greater emphasis on how corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences the attraction and retention of employees. As a corporate giving leader, how can you leverage your work to support this effort?

Join us to examine how corporate social responsibility (CSR) aids talent management. This webinar will provide a synopsis of the latest trends and how to use the insights to make the case and drive conversation with colleagues. We will also explore CSR perspectives across different generations and how to view your company’s corporate giving strategy and opportunities for integration through a talent retention lens.

$50.00


2017 Midwest Corporate Giving Webinar Series

Regional Associations from four Midwest states have collaborated to present a series of six webinars designed for companies with a corporate foundation, advised fund at a community foundation, or a giving program. This series specifically targets business professionals who want to think smarter and perform better when it comes to combining their corporate mission with philanthropic action.

Corporate philanthropy is an essential business function that helps support communities where companies are based, foster employee engagement, and generate business value. Individuals want to work for companies that support their communities, and consumers want to purchase goods from companies that are doing good in the world. The Midwest Corporate Giving webinar series offers data supporting the need for corporate philanthropy and development strategies to help giving programs succeed.
