Great feedback. I once worked for a CEO who at Thanksgiving gave many of the leaders a dollar figure that could be given to charities in the community in which they lived in their name. It did wonderful things for the people who gave, the communities who received the funds and the stability of the leaders that worked at the company. It also became a talking point that enabled others to think outside the box with what they could do. Thanks for sharing!
Love this concept, thanks for sharing Bob! Do you have any tips or guardrails that you have set for budgeting and decision making for this program that would be helpful to help us get a similar program off the ground? My concern is around fairness and how saying no is handled. I imagine there can be a lot of gray area in handling responses. Thanks in advance.
Robert - Thanks for sharing this story! We have been inspired to create our own program and would love any program details you are willing to share. Like Kevin, I am interested in parameters set for submissions and how you handle those not selected. Thank you for your guidance on this - and for Friday Forward :-)
Great ideas to drive employee retention. Especially in a tight labor market. I am curious if this would work universally in any country or culture. Any research on that?
I believe that we all want to have a positive impact on the lives of those around us. And if you think you are too small to make an impact, try sleeping with a mosquito in a room. Thank you for the reminder that one story may have ripple effects.

Wow. I love this story! Thanks for sharing it. It’s amazing to see how turnover fell at Appletree too. Small acts can have big impacts, I love it!

I don’t know why it wouldn’t.
The importance of One can often be immeasurable .
