EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING SOFTWARE

Make a measurable impact to recruit and retain employees

77% of employees say that a company-sponsored employee volunteer program is important to them, but the average employee participation rate is only 17%. Employees want to volunteer and they need a platform that centers on their needs and values. 

Volunteer from Submittable is a corporate volunteering platform that makes it easy to create a great employee experience, increase engagement, and attract and retain talent.

Employees can sign up for volunteer events in a few clicks and even create their own. Host all event details in one place, enable volunteer incentive programs, and automatically track volunteer time off for each employee with their own dashboard.

How It Works

Empower employees with software that works for them

Get every tool you need to make it as easy as possible for employees to participate: easily create events, centralize communication, and report on hours volunteered and impact.

Let employees create volunteer events

Give employees with the right permission level the ability to create new volunteer opportunities on their own. Depending on your custom settings, these employees could be employee resource group (ERG) members, team leads, or anyone else approved by administrators.

Simplify sign-up and centralize details

Track progress and impact

Create incentive programs

Simplify sign-up and centralize details

Employees can search the full library of volunteer events across the entire organization and sign up for causes they care about in a few clicks. Each event contains all the important information, such as date and time, what clothing to wear, and who else has already signed up.

Track progress and impact

Create a true sense of purpose by giving employees the ability to keep tabs on the progress of their work. Each employee gets a a dashboard that lets them see the results of their impact and how much volunteer time off they have left. Administrators can access data from across the company, allowing them to analyze impact on causes, participation by location, and more.

Create incentive programs

Get more employees involved with your volunteer events by offering incentive programs like Dollars for Doers. With Dollars for Doers, when your employees volunteer, you can match their in-person impact with financial donations.

EMPLOYEE-DRIVEN & ADMIN FRIENDLY

Make volunteering easy for everyone

Volunteer from Submittable is the only corporate volunteer software that prioritizes the employee experience while making the overhead administrative work simple to manage.

  • Get up and running (and see results) in no time. Volunteer from Submittable is simple to implement for new and existing programs alike.

  • Improve employee engagement by eliminating the barriers to signing up for and creating volunteer events. 

  • Prove impact with both individual employee dashboards and cross-organization reporting that automatically tracks volunteer time off (VTO), time spent on causes, and more.

DEMOCRATIZE YOUR CSR

Get results with a grassroots approach

Employees want to volunteer but often don’t when opportunities are created from a traditional top-down approach. Democratizing the ability to create volunteer events can increase your employee participation by focusing your efforts on their values, leveraging relationships they already have in their communities, and clearing the way for ERGs to take a leading role in company culture.

CASE STUDY

How Trulieve Boosted Employee Volunteer Participation by 55%

Trulieve was founded on the promise to be a force of good for the community. As corporate social responsibility (CSR) manager, Sarah Mitchell plays a big role helping the company deliver on this promise through employee volunteering.

To support their program, Sarah and her team built their own infrastructure using a combination of emails and spreadsheets to track and promote volunteer opportunities. But this system made it hard for employees to get involved and created a ton of administrative work for the CSR team.

Trulieve turned to Submittable to help them overhaul their volunteer program. With easy sign-up, streamlined reporting, and flexible event creation privileges, Submittable saves Sarah and her teammates ten hours per week. Plus it creates an experience employees actually enjoy.
