You need objective, third party results. This isn't about picking your pet project or the CEO's, and you want to ensure employees see it that way too. 2H2M can provide you with unbiased employee input, with no political agenda.
Have you done this before? 2H2M Services has. Leveraging 2H2M expertise shows your employees you take philanthropy, and their interest in it seriously, you truly want their input, and you want the initiative to be successful. It is an important part of your company and culture, and you outsource for expertise just as you would in any other part of your business.
2H2M Services is a proud member of Imagine Canada's Caring Company program, with access to Imagine's libraries, not-for-profit databases, and best practices. We are plugged into the issues affecting business, such as employee engagement and retention, through Chamber of Commerce and Human Resource associations. And we're able to work with local Volunteer Centres as needed to augment our not for profit connections. Not to mention hands on corporate best practice experience at GE (see Corporate Perspective below).
2H2M's Managing Director, Lynn Fergusson, comes from the corporate world, with a wealth of leadership experience from GE in Canada, including leading its renowned employee volunteer program, GE Volunteers in Canada. Lynn understands the need to set and realize business objectives and meet commitments in the fast-paced corporate world, even in charitable work.
2H2M can focus on this even when you can't (in fact, maybe you've had this on your to do list for some time, but don't seem to be able to get to it, or know where to start). We'll agree on timelines together (tight timelines included!), and make it happen.
You'll be very comfortable leaving Lynn Fergusson to do the ground work and talk to not-for-profits on your behalf. It's a pleasure doing business with 2H2M Services.
