It's a noble task to financially pro- vide for yourself and your family, and in the pro- cess, you can also create the opportunity for oth- ers to earn a living. However, with more at- tention being placed on corporate giving and so- cial activism, there has been a push for busi- nesses of all sizes to give back. And while giving back does require time, effort and sometimes money, it does provide benefits. The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, a collation of CEOs focused on social improvement, found that "companies that have in- creased giving by more than 10 percent since 2010 also increased me- dian revenues by 11 per- cent …. and, profits in- creased for 59 percent of those companies." Giving back can also increase employee morale and provide good PR for your business. Here are a few ways your business can give back. The community The most frequent idea associated with corporate generosity is giving to the community. The major- ity of people have heard about the various phil- anthropic programs set up by major corporations like Apple, Kellogg and Johnson & Johnson. But, smaller companies can have just as much impact in their local communi- ties without the nega- tive side effects that some business leaders might worry about. An article from Inc., stated that "The coordi- nation of just a few an- nual community or vol- unteer events will con- nect your business with hundreds of positive, pro- ductive members of your community. In many cases, this can be even more cost-effective than traditional promotional activities." The article went on to point out that giving back can also result in great "ROI for small business," "employee engagement," "buy-in to marketing pro- grams," and "opportuni- ties to connect directly with community lead- ers and other key influ- encers." Employees Another opportunity to give back is through a business's own em- ployees. And, while most business leaders may not lump such things as em- ployee bonuses, gifts, workplace benefits, tu- ition reimbursement and appreciation events with other types of generosity, these are ways that busi- nesses can give back to their most important as- sets. And it has its own forms of ROI, includ- ing heightened morale, increased engagement, higher productivity, and decreased turnover rates. At the end of 2014, Forbes published an article that highlighted a survey of over 200,000 employees across hundreds of com- panies. TINYpulse, the em- ployee engagement firm that conducted the re- search, asked, "What mo- tivates you to excel and go the extra mile at your organization?" Respon- dents indicated that ca- maraderie, peer motiva- tion, feeling encouraged, and being recognized, which can all be achieved by employers giving back to their workers, mo- tivated them to work harder. Poet and award- winning author Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back." There are always ways that companies, even small businesses, can "throw something back." Ultimately ev- eryone wins when com- panies give back, in- cluding the businesses themselves.
