Today Joe and Megan chat with Chris Jarvis of Realized Worth, the expert on corporate volunteering. Chris discusses how getting employees to change their behavior is much more of a courting process than most companies think – it’s all about falling in love. Most programs lack what is called “The Proximity Factor”. Chris debunks myths about ‘Done in a Day’ corporate volunteerism and talks about how the customer becomes the beneficiary in the eyes of retail employees in some cause marketing programs.
