  As a Job Seeker: How Much Does It Matter? High importance if the program is: Millennials & Gen Z: Strongly value purpose-driven work and charitable opportunities; research shows they weigh these factors heavily in job search decisions. Gen X & Boomers: More focused on pay, benefits, and stability; less likely to choose jobs based on volunteer programs, though some value community impact. Future outlook: As Millennials/Gen Z dominate the workforce, companies that prioritize authentic volunteer programs gain an advantage in recruiting & retention. Bottom line: A credible volunteer program can be a tiebreaker in offers, especially when total compensation is similar.

  BCBS SHIELD (QUESTION 1) Blue Cross Blue Shiel (BCBS) of Wyoming offers their employees community service time off (CSTO). This program was designed to give employees up to 24 hours of paid volunteer time each year to encourage them to get involved within their community. This program has allowed employees to feel empowered, they are willing to put time and effort into non-profits that matter to them specifically. Since this program, employees have felt a sense of purpose and in turn have strengthen their sense of purpose in their work life. BCBS also stated they have had higher reports of employee engagement and pride in their company since the program was started. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming. (2022, April 1).

  QUESTIONS CONTINUED 1. When comparing both BCBS and Humana's volunteer programs to Candence, they all three demonstrate that pushing employees to give back to their communities creates positive outcomes for the organization. They help out local communities while also strengthening employee engagement, strengthening retention, and giving employees a sense of belonging and pride. 2. As a future job seeker, making sure a company offers charitable work through the company is not a must, but would be a convincing plus. Being able to connect with my community and give back is something that I find important. As an employee it would show me that said company cares about their community and employees and wants to give back in any way they can.
