MDK is reimagining how legal services are delivered. Their team is committed to being a positive force in the community.
THE CHALLENGE
MDK has always been involved in community engagement activities, but they wanted to create a more meaningful and impactful approach to volunteer programming with their employees.
- Limited impact: Their contributions were primarily financial and supported events like Race for the Cure, but didn’t foster deep connections with the community.
- Internal barriers: Employees were not always empowered to take ownership of community engagement initiatives.
- Inefficient processes: There was no centralized system for organizing and tracking volunteer efforts.
The Solution
MDK partnered with Besa to develop a comprehensive community engagement program involving:
- Establishing affinity groups: Creating employee-led groups focused on specific causes.
- Providing resources: Offering support, funding, and leadership opportunities to affinity groups.
- Curating volunteer experiences: Partnering with Besa to identify and organize volunteer opportunities.
- Promoting employee engagement: Encouraging employees to participate in volunteer activities outside of work and track their hours.
THE OUTCOMES
The partnership between MDK and Besa has had positive impact on MDK’s community engagement efforts, its employees and the community. MDK’s experience demonstrates the power of partnership in driving community engagement.
- Increased volunteerism: The number of employees participating in volunteer activities has grown.
- Enhanced employee engagement: Employees feel more connected to the organization and their community.
- Community awareness: Employees have become more aware of local nonprofits and their needs to support local residents.
- Leadership development: Employees have taken on leadership roles within their affinity groups.
