First of all, we will work with you to create your community involvement site which will sit within your current intranet and will be accessible through your company website.

This will match the branding and copy tone of your current site and will feature the content and community involvement tools that you desire.

Many companies are now encouraging their employees to volunteer, as part of the company’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility.

Your smartchange site will include a charity search facility, so your employees will be able to search a community of charities who are looking for people to volunteer. These charities all receive a free listing on the smartchange system.

Your employees will be able to search by name, location or type of charity, and every profile they find will include information about what the charity does, their aims, current projects, achievements, and what help they need.

The volunteering opportunities come directly from the charities themselves who are encouraged to word them in a way that will appeal to corporate employees.

Paper-based payroll giving is time-consuming and hard to administer. However, help is at hand. Using the payroll giving module of the smartchange solution, employees can set up and modify payroll donations online, without the need for physical signatures or filling out reams of paper.

The smartchange system seamlessly integrates with your payroll systems and passes encrypted employee payroll requests to your payroll department so they can pass the usual data to your payroll-giving agency.

On average, smartchange companies save over nine working weeks’ a year by using our online payroll giving system. Just think what you could do with that time….

Online fundraising page

Using the smartchange giving system, your employees can set up a fundraising page featuring heaps of information about their fundraising event or activity. They can then email this page to their colleagues, friends and family, and can collect sponsorship through credit and debit card donations. The smartchange system also allows colleagues to sponsor each other via payroll giving.

smartchange features an easy to use content management system. This means you can develop an online magazine crammed with news stories, case studies, photos and video clips to bring your CSR and community involvement work to life. What’s more, you can pick which articles the public sees and which articles can only be seen by employees.

One of the many advantages of the smartchange system is the fact that you can use it to measure and report on your company’s charitable activities. You can see how you are doing compared to the goals you have set, can export data to Excel or your databases and can produce standard or bespoke reports.

You can then disseminate this information in-house, to your stakeholders, and can use it as a basis for press releases to national, local, trade or charity press.

With smartchange you get a future-proof solution to your community involvement needs. smartchange is scaleable and flexible, and has a well defined upgrade path allowing you to add new modules and tools as your business evolves.
