Today’s workforce increasingly seeks more than just a paycheck—they want to work for organizations that align with their values and provide meaningful opportunities to make a positive impact. Forward-thinking companies are responding by creating comprehensive corporate social responsibility programs that don’t just involve employees, but truly empower them to contribute to causes they care about.
The most successful programs go beyond traditional corporate giving by offering paid volunteer time, matching donation programs, employee-led initiatives, and flexible platforms that allow workers to support the causes that matter most to them. These initiatives create a win-win scenario: employees find greater purpose and fulfillment in their work, while companies build stronger communities and more engaged workforces.
How does your company involve employees in corporate social responsibility initiatives, and what impact have these efforts had?
Making the world a better place starts locally – that’s a foundational principle here at LHC Group. It has been since our start as a single agency in a rural American community. Our agency teams around the nation are more than just a local business; they are friends and neighbors who work to actively promote enhanced opportunities, well-being, and a better future for each diverse community we are privileged to serve. Our company culture reflects a service mentality that encourages involvement at the local level. We refuse to settle for the status quo – we have so much more to offer.
What opportunities do you provide for employees to contribute to causes they care about through their work?
LHC Group is dedicated to providing our team members around the nation with the resources they need to play an active role in improving their community. With flexible scheduling options and support for work-life balance, employees are able to take advantage of volunteer opportunities and other ways to give back. And through initiatives like The Purpose Fund and The Hospice Promise Foundation, we provide our employees with further opportunities to help their colleagues and those around them who may be going through difficult times. Today, many professionals want a career that supports their desire to spend a portion of their lives in service to making things better. We value these types of employees at our organization – those who want to make a difference in their community and, by extension, help change the world.

At LexisNexis Legal & Professional, giving back is at the heart of how we live our mission to advance the rule of law and build stronger communities; and it starts at the top with our parent company, RELX.
Through RELX Cares, our global program, every employee is offered two paid days off each year to volunteer with causes that matter to them— whether mentoring disadvantaged youth, supporting local non-profits, or contributing to projects that strengthen access to justice.

At Calix, giving back is a part of who we are, and it reflects in our initiatives. In 2025, we launched our first-ever giving platform in partnership with Benevity, making it easier than ever for employees to support causes they care about. To kick off the program, Calix seeded employees with funds to donate to charities of their choice, reinforcing our belief that giving should reflect what matters most to our people. On Giving Tuesday and throughout the year, we celebrate the spirit of generosity and community.
But our commitment goes beyond platforms and campaigns. For the past four years, we’ve embedded a community impact lens into everything we do. From a social impact booth at our annual ConneXions conference, to affinity group events, team meetups and offsites. Whether we’re gathering virtually or in person, we intentionally create space to give back. These efforts have helped foster a culture where social impact is not only encouraged but empowered, and where employees are enabled to lead with purpose.

Calix offers a variety of meaningful, flexible ways for employees to support the causes that matter most to them.

These initiatives are aligned with our four community impact pillars: Connectivity, STEM, Equitable Opportunities, and Aid & Response, which ensures our collective efforts drive change where it’s needed most.
In addition, the Calix Leadership Cares budget allows employees to request corporate donations that match their personal contributions to a charity of their choice. This program amplifies individual impact and reflects our belief that leadership includes giving back. Employees have the freedom to choose the causes they’re passionate about, and Calix stands behind them, matching their generosity with our own.
Together, these programs reflect a deeper truth: at Calix, we don’t just support social responsibility, we live it.
