Offered by SAP,
Empathy in Motion: The Power of Employee Volunteering (openSAP)

Are you involved with volunteering programs in your company or another organization? Maybe you work as a volunteer, or organize programs, or maybe you work within your organization’s social responsibility team? Maybe you have an idea how a volunteer event or program could bring about positive social change. If so, this course could be for you.

“As we give, and when we acknowledge the needs of others, we open ourselves up to receive. And, what we receive is a reminder of what it means to be human – and that we are part of a larger, global narrative where we have a role to play. “
With these words, Chris Jarvis, CEO at Realized Worth invites you to explore the power of employee volunteering, highlighting the role that companies can play as gatekeepers of the employee volunteer experience, empowering global workforces to tackle some of our biggest social and economic challenges.

In Part 1, the course provides you with a theoretical framework, focusing on how to mobilize volunteers’ empathy so that volunteering moves from the transactional to the transformative. In Part 2, the course offers practical guidance on setting up programs and running volunteer events.

Introduction to Engaging Leadership (edX)

People are the real drivers of business for any organisation. Even the best products and processes would fail to take an organisation very far if people are not on the same page with the management regarding the goals and objectives. If employees are not engaged, they may not give their best. They may not be enthusiastic in taking new initiatives looking for fresh ideas and solutions. They will not own up to the responsibility for the success and growth. Leaders, thus, have the responsibility to ensure greater engagement, participation and a sense of ownership among employees. And for this, they need to understand the circumstances and reasons for the lack of engagement. They can do this by engaging with their people.
