From Halloween to New Year’s, we spend a lot of time celebrating what we have and what we would like. However, during this season of gratitude, we should ask ourselves: what can we give? Moreover, can we do so not just as individuals but as organizations? A suitable event for the spirit of donation—that also works as an employee health wellness initiative—is Giving Tuesday. Make the most of this social wellness program opportunity by leveraging Givhero’s digital platform for your charitable efforts.
Below, we describe Giving Tuesday and explain why your organization should get involved:
What Is Giving Tuesday?
First held in 2012 and now observed worldwide, Giving Tuesday is a day to celebrate and practice generosity. It now counts participants in the hundreds of millions, and its governing body recognizes many forms of “giving”: volunteering, monetary donations, activism, and more.
This year, Giving Tuesday will take place on November 30th, the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Many participants will log their activities on social media with the hashtag #GivingTuesday. As we discuss further below, individuals may choose the campaign they wish to support.
How Giving Tuesday Ties into Employee Health and Wellness
Regardless of their employer’s attitude towards the occasion, individuals worldwide will take part in Giving Tuesday. So, why should organizations acknowledge or encourage it? The reasons tie directly into wellness benefits for employees.
We’ve discussed the benefits of socially responsible giving for employees and their employers—specifically, both individual and corporate well-being see boosts. But Giving Tuesday is one of the best employee wellness programs possible. It already has an active participant body as well as a clear conceptual framework, both of which reduce the administrative workload for HR departments.
Moreover, a day of generosity helps cultivate an inclusive office environment. Participating employees will have a more sensitive mindset towards others, presenting an ideal opportunity to share and listen. A connected and cooperative office can accomplish more together
