Case Study: Frontiers achieves 59% employee engagement in 7 months with Alaya

How Frontiers reached over 50% of their employees through purpose-driven employee engagement in 7 months

Frontiers, a leading Open Access Publisher and Open Science Platform, wanted to centralize its growing employee-led volunteering and giving activities into one easy-to-use program. As interest from staff increased across its offices in the US, UK, Switzerland, Spain, and China, the company needed a way to help employees find local and remote opportunities, support causes they cared about, and connect their values with the company’s mission. Frontiers implemented Alaya to support its Giving@Frontiers initiative.

With Alaya’s digital volunteering and giving platform, Frontiers gave employees 24 hours of volunteering time per year and enabled them to participate in field volunteering, skills-based and online volunteering, as well as monetary and in-kind donations. The result was 59% of employees active on the platform within 7 months and a 300% increase in contributions over the last 3 months. Frontiers also gained a central hub to track volunteering hours, donations, and supported causes, making it easier to report impact and build a purpose-driven culture.
