Building a Buzz Around Workplace Giving

There should be a direct and overt connection between an organization’s “giving back” initiatives and its core values. If there is no such connection? Maybe the values aren’t really values—or maybe the giving back is a thinly-disguised PR play. If there is a connection? Giving back is a powerful way to build engagement with hard-to-recruit and hard-to-retain employees.

The Yes& team reflects on AAPI Heritage Month

May is Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Yes& joins in celebrating the people and cultures of the world’s largest continent, which today hosts 48 nations. Since the first wave of Asian immigrants arrived nearly 200 years ago, the United States has benefitted from the rich heritage of people from China to Korea to Thailand to India to Russia, and dozens of points in between. In recognition of AAPI Month, we reached out to some of our Yes& team members to hear what the designation means to them.
