Enable prosocial motivation.
Enable prosocial motivation.
Prosocial motivation is the desire to protect and promote the well-being of others, and it has become increasingly important in the workplace. Many of our funds have been established based on the popular demand of a company's employees.
“A group with a united vision and goal is much more powerful than an individual with the same. So leveraging this desire to care for and give back to the community or to colleagues is surprisingly critical for creating strong corporate culture. If companies are seeking to boost employee happiness through positive workplace culture, prosocial initiatives are very effective ways to get there.”
