Why Your Australian Business Needs a Workplace Giving Program

Workplace giving programs are the secret weapon for employee retention and engagement, with more companies discovering that charitable giving isn't just good for the community and the supported organisation but it's brilliant for business. 

Here's what the data reveals about why workplace giving has become essential for Australian businesses in 2025. 

How Workplace Giving Drives Business Results 

Companies with strong CSR programs, including workplace giving, see measurable improvements in employee retention and engagement. 74% of employees report feeling more fulfilled when making a positive social impact.  

Why Traditional CSR Falls Short 

Many Australian companies rely on annual charity partnerships or one-time donations, but miss the engagement opportunity. Employees want to participate in impact, and support a charity of their choosing, not just witness it. 

Traditional CSR limitations:	Workplace giving advantages:
No employee involvement or ownership  Limited connection to personal values  Minimal workplace culture impact  No encouragement to make a personal impact or continued giving	Direct employee participation and choice  Personal investment in outcomes  Continuous culture reinforcement  Integration with fundraising and volunteering initiatives  Internal recognition and reward opportunities for change makers within your organisation

The Australian Tax Advantage 

Australia's pre-tax giving structure makes workplace giving particularly attractive. Through payroll giving programs, employees can: 

• Donate before tax, increasing their giving impact 

• Simplify tax preparation with automatic documentation 

• Reduce taxable income while supporting causes they care about 

• Make one-off or recurring donations through payroll

For employers, workplace giving offers simplified compliance and clear CSR reporting metrics with real-time visibility into corporate giving impact.
