Pop-Up Volunteering Session: How Play and Imagination Can Drive Change and Boost Employee Experience

September 25, 2024
People and Culture Theater
Employee Experience
In today's workplace, 80% of employees report feeling lonely, which hurts engagement and retention. Generus addresses this challenge with employee engagement events focused on volunteerism and rooted in positive psychology. Our model supports well-being and increases engagement by meeting deeper psychological needs for belonging and fulfillment. After participating in a Generus event, 97% of volunteers report stronger connections to their company and coworkers. And companies using Generus see a 5-20% boost in volunteering and a 6% increase in overall employee satisfaction within two years.

In this hands-on demo, experience how imagination can drive meaningful change. Led by Broadway’s Peter Pan–Sarah Jenkins–this interactive session will spark creativity as we upcycle discarded items into pet toys for a local animal rescue. Enjoy a special performance of Never Never Land, play games, and learn about the rescue benefiting from your creations. Even with limited resources, imagination can transform everyday items into something impactful. Make a difference and connect with peers in this purpose-driven session.
