Employee Engagement

Employee engagement

Voya Financial employees have a long history of contributing time, talent and financial support to better the communities where we, and our customers, live and work. They foster a deep culture of giving. Through the Employee Giving Campaign (EGC), our robust volunteer programs and executive board placement program, employees are helping to drive positive change. While employee engagement benefits the community, it also helps our employees gain new skills, expand professional networks, gain fresh perspective, discover creativity and practice collaboration skills.

Employee giving programs

One vehicle for our employees to demonstrate their commitment to the community is our year-long employee giving program. We exemplify our giving program with a month-long engagement campaign that heightens awareness each September. When employees contribute to a qualified charity, Voya Foundation matches dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 per employee per year.

This investment creates a meaningful difference in our local communities and reinforces our corporate value We Care.

Employee volunteerism programs

National Days of Service

National Days of Service (NDOS) is a company-wide program harnessing the greatest asset we have to share — Voya employees. Across the company, executives and employees have the opportunity to participate in a diverse array of community initiatives during NDOS. Whether it’s working on a team alongside colleagues or participating in an individual project, our unified contribution of time and energy on a single day has a significant impact on the communities where we live and work. 

Volunteer Time Away

Each year Voya employees serve their communities — and enrich their own lives — by participating in the company’s Volunteer Time Away program, which allows employees to volunteer for up to 40 paid hours per year during their normal workday.

Volunteer Matching Gifts

When an employee volunteers 50 hours or more on their personal time to an eligible nonprofit organization, Voya Foundation donates $500 to the nonprofit organization.

Volunteer Sabbatical Program

Through a competitive application process, Voya employees are chosen to participate in an annual employee volunteer sabbatical project delivering shoes, learning supplies and financial literacy skills to schools in need. In partnership with Soles4Soles, employees have completed the sabbatical in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Arizona and Tennessee.
