HOW KIFOR WORKS (3 Steps)
-
Understand the Goal: We start by listening to your goals, reviewing current activities, understanding employee needs, and identifying what is making social impact difficult.
-
Design the Right Approach: KiFor then helps define the right focus and format. This may be one workshop, a wider social-impact roadmap, or an ongoing company programme.
-
Deliver and Measure: We support the planning, coordination, employee participation, delivery and reporting, so your company can see what happened, who took part and why it mattered.
From company goals to measurable social impact
OUTCOMES & REPORTING
Social impact should be meaningful for communities and clear enough for companies to understand.
