Employee engagement has been declining for years, and many companies are still searching for solutions. Impact has a clear role to play; it gives employees a sense of purpose in their work. But in the current business environment, leaders responsible for engagement and volunteerism are being asked to show that these efforts do more than generate activity—that they support talent goals and contribute to the business in visible ways.

Leading impact functions are shifting toward more strategic models: programs designed for deeper participation, tighter alignment with business priorities, and outcomes that can be measured and defended in the same terms as any other talent investment.

Unpacking these shifts and more will be the focus of this session of NationSwell’s Emerging Impact Leaders Program.

Join us for 90 minutes of insights, frameworks, peer connections, and guidance from senior practitioners that you can take back to your work and your team.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
