Why ServiceCorps /Engaging the Corporate Agenda

At ServiceCorps partner companies, managers leverage community service as a strategic tool within their business functions. Service opportunities are used to introduce new employees to staff, connect with peers across functions, build cohesive and strong teams, and unite the firm as a whole.

ServiceCorps aligns volunteer activities with human resource strategy in order to meet broader business goals. A few examples include:

• Recruitment, onboarding, and training,
• Skill acquisition (specific to core competencies and based on an employee’s review) through participation in personalized service opportunities,
• Management and leadership training through employee participation in ServiceCorps’ expanded Service Leader program,
• Retention and development of employees through participation in skills-based, short- and long-term projects,
• Surveys designed to capture the impact on the company and community of all of the above activities.
