Today, every organization needs technology to manage operations and deliver services. Yet, due to resource constraints and systemic inequities, social sector organizations struggle to fully realize the benefits of technology.
This gap became even more pronounced last year as we faced the pandemic. During this time, nonprofits had to quickly adopt digital strategies to serve their communities. One of those nonprofits is Planet Bee Foundation. We envision a world in which all students feel empowered to take action for their planet, regardless of race, gender, class, or location. Through our work, students will learn to love our planet and the importance of individual action in global movements and will become more equipped to tackle environmental problems in the future.

I’ve been with Cisco for just under 15 years. I’m passionate about customer success and I’m a digital fanatic who found my niche in the Digital Lifecycle Experiences team in EMEAR.

No matter the scale or severity of a crisis or disaster, employee financial stress hurts companies and their employees. An Employee Assistance Fund (EAF), also known as a host of other names
(e.g. Employee Relief Fund, Emergency Relief Fund, Employee Support Fund, Employee Crisis Fund, Employee Hardship Fund, Employee Emergency Fund, and Employee grants) allows your company to help employees overcome unexpected financial hardships and demonstrate your commitment to responsible corporate citizenship.
There are different ways to administer an EAF. The best method for you will ultimately depend on factors such as the size of your company, how you will fund the EAF, and the complexity of your program.
