Performance of Alaya Across Market Features

Alaya Likes & Dislikes

It is very easy to donate and the payroll integration makes it easy to track. Because we are multinational, the fact that it works in multiple countries keeps everyone engaged. The fact that it uses challenges and puts the opportunities into a gamified platform keeps employees involved. I love the retention is the byproduct of involvement.

Vor allem die intutiv Benutzeroberfläsche und klare Prozesse für Mitarbeiter, um sich für freiwillige Aktivitäten anzumelden und ihre Engagement zu dokumentieren.

Ease of use with app and integrated into our company's eco-system to expedite log-in and ease of access. Deep catalogue of charities to choose from with detailed description of the charity and what giving contributes towards.

The one area of concern was the lift that our admin team had in maintaining the platform.

Die Verfügbarkeit und Vielfalt von Aktivitäten ist teilweise stark regionbezogen, was für international aufgestellte Organisationen eine Herausforderung darstellen kann.

Some charities were greyed out and not approved with the platform. Descriptions on why they were not available were a little lacking.

The Alaya platform could be served as the foundation for company-wide initiatives that encourages employee's involvement in social causes. Through this volunteer program, employees are given the opportunities to support causes they are passionate about during working hours. Not only does this contribute to team building, and also it arises awareness of important issues like food sustainability, align the value and purpose of a responsible corporate citizen.

A great tool which has a simplistic way of getting things from the employees. It has different categories and multiple functionalities for volunteering. There are multiple point systems and storage.
