Champions: Culture Carriers, Not Just Coordinators
Participation metrics tell only part of the story.
The deeper question is cultural: Do employees experience volunteering as an occasional activity, or as a normal part of organizational life?
This distinction matters because behavior follows norms more reliably than it follows campaigns.
If volunteering is treated as a periodic initiative, participation fluctuates. If volunteering is embedded as a norm, participation stabilizes.
Champion networks shape that perception in ways dashboards cannot measure.
