Workplace Campaigns
A United Way Saskatoon and Area workplace campaign is an exceptional way to bring employees together around a common cause.
United Way has been powered by workplace campaigns for decades and millions of dollars and hundreds of volunteers are mobilized every year through this unique initiative. By hosting a United Way workplace campaign, organizations can make a real, measurable impact on the lives of those who need it most in our community, while building a culture of teamwork, friendly competition, and fun!
Whether you want to improve employee engagement, demonstrate accountability to customers, increase your profile with stakeholders, or simply make your neighbourhood a better place for all—hosting a United Way campaign is the place to start.
Join the hundreds of workplaces thorough out Saskatoon supporting their communities in creative ways, while also strengthening their businesses and workplace culture.
