FAQS

Social Impact Survey

1. Why should we discover our company's Social Impact Culture Type?

• Is your company's Social Impact Culture Type an Activator culture, Connector culture, or Investor culture?
• You need to know your type because understanding your employees' mindset about work, life, and community is critical to achieving your engagement goals. This data is driving your culture. 
• Embolden's Social Impact Survey quickly diagnoses your Social Impact Culture Type and delivers the information you need, at a budget-friendly one-time fee of $850.
• Deep analytics behind Social Impact Culture Type will help you improve your company's employee engagement programs and give you rich data and content to celebrate the causes and activities your employees love the most.

2. What data does the survey get us? 

Our analytics team will diagnose your company's type by comparing your survey responses to Embolden's five years of research and thousands of survey responses from employees in dozens of companies across the country.

You'll also get a complete set of the survey responses (maintaining employee anonymity). The Social Impact Survey captures key metrics about your employees’ social impact behaviors:

• Giving to charities and examples of favorite organizations
• Volunteering for causes and number of hours volunteered each year
• Recycling, respecting the environment, and estimated percentage of materials recycled annually
• Serving on boards and committees, and estimates of time spent in meetings
• Celebrating at community events, including the galas and fundraisers your employees enjoy the most
• Purchasing products that support a favorite cause and examples of your employees' favorite cause-focused brands
• Marketing favorite causes and examples of the passions your employees want to share with their colleagues
• Donating gently-used clothing, canned goods, and other necessities, and estimates of numbers of items donated each year
• Caring for personal health and wellness, and examples of the activities employees believe are important to their own well-being
• Sharing with others, including supporting colleagues, friends, and neighbors in need
