A Pledge 1% Event

Employee Engagement in a Hybrid Workforce & Our Newest Program: WePledge 1%
October

1:30 - 2:30pm 
PDT

 – 
2:30pm 
PDT

Kicking off our Employee Engagement two-part series, this session will dive deep into what’s currently happening with Employee Engagement in the midst of new hybrid work environments and continued uncertainty around in-person gatherings. Our panelists will share how, in this newest work environment, they are refining their engagement strategies (yet again) to foster community, support employees, and the causes that they are about and maintain connection.


Finally, we’ll share how Pledge 1% is guiding our members in small group settings as they develop their employee impact programs- and we hope that you will apply to join our next cohort launching in 2022!  WePledge 1% is a program powered by Twilio, in partnership with Pledge 1%, to empower your employees to create positive change with a pledge to contribute 1% of their personal time, financial resources, or both to do good in their communities and beyond. Twilio has open-sourced their WePledge1% approach and partnered with Pledge 1% to share their learnings and best practices with all Pledge 1% members.
