A growing body of research makes it clear that employees prefer to work for socially engaged companies and that there is significant positive impact in engaging them in community programmes.


Research carried out by the Ashridge Centre for Business specifically on Give As You Earn among UK companies with payroll giving programmes already in place found that:

 96% of these companies believe it is something a good employer should offer
 61% believe that it improves company image
 58% believe it enhances community involvement programmes
 40% believe that it supports employee volunteering
