Audit Services
Getting it right the first time.
Making sure your approach is adequate and data is accurate is imperative when reporting back to stakeholders.
The Thrive team act as an external auditor to provide quarterly assurance of your data and deliver an annual report to ensure you feel confident in the credibility of your reporting.
Custom Metrics & Proxy Values Development
Accurately measure success aligned to your organisation’s needs.
Often, the metrics included in Thrive’s Impact Evaluation Standard are all you need to report on your social value activities. However, we also understand that there are times when you need a bespoke approach for a particular initiative.
At Thrive, we can develop custom metrics and proxy values for your to ensure your social value is accurately and comprehensively reported.
Employee Volunteering Support
Volunteering programmes look different to pre-COVID.
It is difficult to maintain engagement levels due to restrictions and homeworking but more often than not, the will of employees to participate and volunteer remains when you give them the options.
Thrive provides best practice advice for workforce engagement, whether during restrictive times or fully operational – finding the balance between individual volunteering and meeting your corporate goals is solvable and doable through our guidance and expertise.
Communications Support
We support the success and delivery of your social value.
Community investment and social impact initiatives require everyone to be involved, not just at a management level but also those actively on the ground.
Getting successful buy-in for your programmes to align with your company values can be challenging. Thrive can help plan and execute programmes. We do so by consulting and supporting you through the best use of comms tool kits in parallel with embedding social impact into the fabric of your organisation.
