Broadcaster Sky has launched the Smartchange solution as their dedicated employee

community involvement site.
Using the Smartchange solution, Sky employees can search
and participate in a diverse range of volunteering opportunities, support any UK
charity through payroll giving and charity accounts, create fundraising pages for
online sponsorship, support Sky’s official charity, The Chicken Shed Theatre Company,
and read news and share stories with employees.

All Sky employees in the UK can access the site over their Intranet or via secure
kiosks strategically located around their offices.

Sky is using Smartchange to promote their volunteering policy to employees. Sky 
gives employees up to 16 hours paid time per annum to volunteer in the community.

Vinay Khosla, Managing Director of Vivid Orange, the providers of the Smartchange
solution said: “Smartchange will enable Sky to increase employee participation in
the

community while reducing the administrative costs of managing their diverse

and comprehensive community programme.

The community involvement team can concentrate on finding the most appropriate and
valuable volunteering opportunities for employees, and help employees raise funds
for charities, secure in the knowledge that the entire volunteering and fundraising
process is being managed, measured and reported by the Smartchange solution.”
