Helping Kroo Hit 1000 Hours of Employee Volunteering
We’ve been busy Launching a more tailored, flexible employee volunteering benefit for the growing Kroo team!
Kroo describes themselves as a bank with a conscience. A bank built to change banking. For good.
They’ve always strived to be a caring bank that goes beyond finances and gives back to their local community and global causes, which led them to dedicate a separate company goal just for their volunteering efforts.
Kroo is aiming to hit 1000 volunteer hours with nonprofits in 2024!
Laura Merino, Marketing Executive at Kroo commented that:
Before launching their volunteering benefit with Matchable, the Kroo team were already actively working with Food for All UK, a food kitchen dedicated to helping people in need around the capital.
Together, they helped prepare over 1000 meals for those in need. They also provided a separate list of various volunteering opportunities, aiming to cater to varied interests and preferences in the team.
However they encountered challenges. The available volunteering activities sometimes failed to align with their employees' diverse interests and values, and establishing partnerships with local nonprofits and community organisations proved difficult for Kroo, hindering their ability to offer a comprehensive range of volunteering options that could accommodate different skill sets and preferences.
Leadership at Kroo also mentioned a desire for the ability to properly track employee volunteer hours the impact of their contributions.
That’s where Matchable comes in!
Misperi, partnerships manager at Matchable, commented:
Being a socially conscious bank is at the heart of everything Kroo do as a business. In particular, they actively encourage employees to engage in volunteering opportunities that contribute to environmental causes. Their team is currently focused on sustainability, homelessness, and wildlife volunteer projects.
Pledging to give all of their full time employees paid volunteering time and access to the Matchable platform will allow Kroo to support these causes in an even bigger way going into 2024!
