8 Best Practice: It’s all about leadership, leadership, and more leadership  President of WBG kicks off Campaign with an Email to all staff.  Two co-chairs appointed annually – Senior VP and above level.  Co-chair role is to raise awareness with other senior leaders and build accountability for Campaign results.  Campaign results distributed every week during Campaign at VP meetings with President.  Data driven so performance and results are clear down to the unit level.

9 World Bank Group Workplace Giving Best Practice: Coordinators and volunteers are the backbone of our Annual Giving Campaign  200–strong volunteer network of Community Connections Coordinators and Volunteers is vital to the engagement of staff across the World Bank Group.  Coordinator role is to actively promote the Community Connections Campaign to colleagues.  Training and resources provided.  Daily and weekly data provided regarding unit level performance.  Recognition Program recognizes those who have excelled in demonstrating excellence, teamwork and leadership in helping to make a difference in the community.  VPs recognize their departmental Campaign coordinators and volunteers during Performance Appraisal. All receive formal letters of appreciation for their HR file, signed by Campaign co-chairs.

10 World Bank Group Workplace Giving Best Practice: Employees and retirees drive the program.  All nonprofit organizations must be nominated by a group of 10 staff and/or retirees to be considered for inclusion  A minimum of $500 total in donations from at least 10 staff/retirees necessary to remain on list year to year  Increase in requests to bring nonprofits in to talk about work/outcomes driven by staff – marketing driven by staff

11 World Bank Group Workplace Giving Best Practice: Providing incentives at different times and levels has driven donations to increase almost 100% over the last 4 years  100% of all donations go directly to nonprofit organizations  Rewards Programs – partnering with local businesses for smaller incentives  Departmental Incentives – cost born by departments  FY08 first year WBG approved a 50% match for all donations  FY09 tied corporate match to staff participation levels – achieved 100% match as a result for the next three years

12 World Bank Group Workplace Giving Best Practice: Egive is easy to use, easy to manage on the back end and requires only periodic updating  WBG has its own online “Egive” system to accept pledges  Egive Platform originally cost $5,000 to build in-house, approximately $30,000 in 2010 to upgrade  Duplicate system currently being built for retirees  Security concerns - none

13 World Bank Group Workplace Giving Challenges : Growing the Campaign even more??  Competitiveness among units and departments can be intimidating  How long for the corporate match? How to sustain?  How big do we go?

14  Integration with other employee engagement programs:  Since Community Connections Campaign launched 10 years ago, 100% increase in volunteerism: over 200 staff on Boards  Volunteer Match partnership to provide volunteer opportunities – HQ centric, but international in scope  Disaster Relief Campaigns centralized through same online system  Presented as a core institutional program during employee onboarding World Bank Group Workplace Giving
