Less chasing, more impact
CSR teams spend too much time on WhatsApp threads, attendance sheets and finding last year's receipts. CorpHands gives that time back.
Community programmes are hard to run on WhatsApp and Excel
These are the issues HR and CSR teams tell us about most.
Scattered organisation
Sign-ups, reminders and attendance live in Teams chats, WhatsApp groups, emails and spreadsheets, and get lost.
Weeks lost at report time
Qualifying donations for the tax return, community investment figures and social value reports take weeks to collect, and nobody can trace where they came from.
Promises you can't evidence
Bids commit to social value, but nobody can show the volunteering behind each contract until the buyer asks.
Charity details hard to track
It is hard to keep each charity's register number, HMRC reference and documents up to date, and reviews are missed.
Donations mixed with sponsorship
Community spending sits in separate spreadsheets, so nobody can say what was a donation, what was sponsorship and which charities had a number on file.
Low participation
The same few people volunteer every time, and most staff never hear about activities.
Photos without consent
Pictures of beneficiaries get shared without permission. Under UK GDPR, consent should be on record first.
Untracked volunteer leave
Paid volunteering days are not recorded, so managers don't know who is away.
No proof of impact
Nobody measures whether activities helped anyone, or whether employees found them worthwhile.
No group-wide picture
Groups with many companies and sites can't see one combined view.
What changes for the CSR team
Monday: publish Thursday's food basket packing from a template and everyone is notified. Thursday: the QR code on a tablet records attendance. Friday: approve a few self-reported hours, score two sponsorship requests and record a receipt. No spreadsheet touched.
