NAVEX GLOBAL OUTREACH 2015 REVIEW

NAVEX Global Outreach has had a truly exciting year. Starting with a few well-meaning volunteers, the

overwhelming generosity of NAVEX Global employees led to an outpouring of support for our local

communities. Time and again employees easily surpassed donation goals, providing over 900 gifts of

time, talent and resources to the communities in which they work.

None of this would have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our volunteer planners. These

team members made these donations possible. Their efforts planning, decorating and promoting made

each and every one of our events a success while contributing to NAVEX Global in a meaningful way.

Outreach has contributed greatly to staff morale by making NAVEX Global a place people are proud to

work. Furthermore, Outreach activities bring staff together. Team members from different offices and

different departments, who would normally never meet, are now working together on projects to better

their communities.

These projects also provide professional development and leadership opportunities to staff. Employees

have the opportunity to develop their skills as they lead events or manage Outreach activities. This

includes volunteer leaders within the Rexburg and Charlotte offices who have stepped up to create some

amazing volunteer opportunities.

NAVEX Global Outreach has also aided in recruiting efforts. Outreach activities are prominently featured

in recruiting‘s social media presence. Outreach events are featured on NAVEX Global’s Glassdoor and

Facebook pages.

As Outreach continues to grow, it will no doubt continue to benefit NAVEX Global and the communities in

which we work.

Just some of

the items

donated by

NAVEX Global

employees as

part of the 2014

Holiday Gift

Drive and thank

you letters sent

from sponsored

families.

December: Holiday Giving Tree In December of 2014, NAVEX Global employees partnered with Toys for Tots, The Salvation Army and

Christmas Family Adoption Foundation to brighten the holiday season for many deserving families and

children. Employees from the San Francisco, Lake Oswego, Rexburg and Charlotte offices made over 210

donations of gifts, toys, food and other items estimated to be worth over $4,000.

The Rexburg office chose to raise money for a local family in need. NAVEX Global staff met with the

family’s mother. While her main request was for tires for their family minivan, she also had a very

humble list of gifts requested by her children, all of which NAVEX Global staff acquired in addition to the

tires. Mom didn’t request anything for herself, but NAVEX Global employees purchased gift certificates

for one year of free hair styling, a 1 one hour clinical massage, and a gift card to a local theatre, sufficient

for a family movie night with drinks and popcorn. In total, the Rexburg office raised $1,085 from about 25

very generous participants, over 2/3 of the Rexburg staff.

The Charlotte office collected items for Toys for Tots. Event planners were overwhelmed by the

generosity of their employees as donations quickly filled their allotted space and began to take of over

the entire office.

The Lake Oswego office worked with the Christmas Family Adoption Foundation to adopt a large,

blended family for Christmas. The family has 10 children. This includes friends of the family who are in

need of a home and have been adopted. The Foundation later shared with NAVEX Global that larger

families are almost never adopted as most donors are unable to meet their needs. Together NAVEX

employees pitched in and were able to deliver everything on the family’s wish list including presents for

the entire family and over $300 worth of gift cards for food and other household essentials.

February: Blood Drive In February, NAVEX Global offices in Lake Oswego and Rexburg each

coordinated American Red Cross Blood Drives, donating over 50

units of blood. Red Cross officials overseeing the Lake Oswego Blood

Drive were excited to see that NAVEX Global employees handily

surpassed the original quotas for the drive.

April: Professional Clothing Drive In April, the NAVEX Global Lake Oswego office partnered with Dress

for Success and Transition Projects. Both organizations help low

income and homeless individuals gain self-sufficiency through

gainful employment. NAVEX Global employees donated over 250

items of professional clothing to these organizations. These clothes

help those looking to turn their life around by providing the

confidence and professional image they need to ace their job

interview and get on the path to economic independence.

August: Blood Drive In August, the NAVEX Global Rexburg office coordinated a second

American Red Cross Blood Drive. Thanks to the help of event

organizers, Ryan Ward, Aaron Short, Aaron Roberts and Alyse

Kreiger, the Rexburg drive exceeded its goal and collected 15 units of

blood, potentially saving up to 45 lives.

August: Classroom Central Drive Also in August, the NAVEX Global Charlotte office partnered with

Classroom Central to provide school supplies for children in need.

Thanks to the help of event planners, Michael Swindell, Samantha

Stewart and Katherine Tomey, Charlotte team members collected an

abundance of supplies.

“I’m so proud of what we do

as a team at NAVEX Global

through our products and

services, but participating on

the Outreach planning

committee this past year has

been an invaluable

opportunity for me personally.

Outreach has allowed me the

unique privilege of

occasionally stepping outside

of my role in Client Support to

participate in events that

afford me project management

and marketing experiences.

It’s also caused me to meet

some incredible people at our

company, people I wouldn’t

otherwise have the chance to

work alongside, including

executive leadership.

NAVEX Global Outreach is fast

becoming a critical element of

our emerging corporate

culture.”

-Cait Rich-Garg, Senior

Client Support Technician,

August: Boxes of Love Drive The NAVEX Global Lake Oswego office partnered with Boxes of Love to provide newborns entering foster

care clothing and personal items. Thanks to the help of Samantha Balmes, Brittiany Blair, Kelly Rowan,

Read Leake and Andrea Ihara, Lake Oswego team members donated 150 items, assisting three newborns

entering foster care as well as their new foster parents.

September: Blood Drive In September, the NAVEX Global Lake Oswego office participated in their second American Red Cross

Blood Drive of the year. Thanks to the help of event organizer, Reid Leake, the drive collected 34 units of

blood and brought total NAVEX Global blood donations, across all offices, to a total to 99 units. 99 units

of blood has the potential to save the lives of up to 297patients.

November: Potluck in the Park In November, volunteers from the NAVEX Global Lake Oswego office served food to those in need.

“The Red Cross is honored to partner with NAVEX Global. Engaging over 10% of your employees

in community service at Red Cross blood drives puts NAVEX in a very elite group of blood drive

sponsors across the nation. NAVEX Global staff and the drives you host form an essential part

of the lifesaving network in the community, contributing more than 70 units of blood to patients

in need in 2015. More than eighty percent of the blood used by patients is collected at blood

drives that are hosted by organizations like NAVEX. Simply put, we couldn’t do it without your

remarkable dedication and support. Thank you, NAVEX Global, for continuing to engage your

employees in volunteering, giving blood and marking contributions to our lifesaving work.”

November: Hands on Greater Portland - Potluck in the Park In November, twelve NAVEX Global employees based in our Lake Oswego office, including CEO Bob

Conlin, volunteered a Sunday evening of their time to assist Potluck in the Park with their weekly rain-or-

shine goal of serving hot, nutritious meals to hundreds of needy people. Potluck in the Park has run

without interruption for more than 20 years, thanks to volunteers and Hands on Greater Portland, a

volunteer-coordination non-profit.

Moving Forward We are just getting started. We have a full year of volunteer opportunities planned for 2016, including:

More Outreach events based on employee feedback.

Ongoing initiatives throughout the year including career mentoring for youth and NAVEX Global

sponsored employee volunteer hours.

Continued expansion of events and volunteers throughout NAVEX Global office locations,

including our new team members in Atlanta!

If you have any ideas for Outreach events you would like to see in 2016, please email [email protected].
