Employee Giving In An Age Of Skepticism
'Creative' accounting practices ' bigwigs who duplicitously line their own pockets at the expense of workers ' financial mismanagement that leads to reams of bad publicity. If this list sounds like snippets from news stories about corporate scandals a la Enron, think again. It actually refers to public impressions of the charity scandals that have sprung up like dandelions in the past couple of years.

Therefore, the corporation that provides its employees with a way to give to trustworthy nonprofit agencies they care about will reap tremendous benefits in terms of community goodwill and worker morale.
