The Power of Purpose-Driven Business: The Business Case for Social Impact

This presentation explores why social impact is no longer just a moral imperative—it’s a strategic advantage that drives measurable results for organizations, their clients, employees, and communities. Matthew McGowan will share insights into how purpose-driven initiatives strengthen talent pipelines, increase employee engagement and retention, and enhance client relationships. Using Staffmark Group’s RGF Connect initiative as a real-world example, he will demonstrate how social impact initiatives create value across multiple stakeholder groups, benefiting organizations, employees, clients, and communities alike.

Unclaimed Property: Does It Get Enough Credit

We will cover current balances, inactive accounts, write-offs, unapplied cash, and, of course, loyalty and incentive programs.
