Employee Engagement is changing rapidly, whether it’s technology, global expansion, or the
operational issues such as ‘vetting’. Working in silos, and creating ‘unique programs’ have
created challenges for nonprofits to fully take advantage of our programs, while adding
unnecessary cost and inefficiencies. Hopefully, the days of working in silos and ‘going it
alone’ are over. This session will provide insight into the collaborative movement in our
industry among companies that are now sharing challenges and working on
solutions. Microsoft, Boeing, and Tech Soup have teamed up to bring companies across the
US together to discuss Employee Engagement challenges and work together on
solutions. Solutions that are not only great for each individual company, but also have the
whole community in mind as well. Come hear the results of a 4 city tour last fall, and a
deeper dive into the complexities of vetting to go global.
