Impacts of Our Community Engagement Projects
Measurement and continuous improvement are keys to project success. In order to realize impact, we include the consideration of needs assessment for all community engagement efforts and evaluate key metrics for community engagement projects. For more than a decade, the results of employee-led community engagement projects were assessed for a significant subset of projects using a methodology developed by the London Benchmarking Group, which measures input, outputs and impacts.
