‍Challenges

BAMKO faced several challenges in driving employee engagement in their volunteering programs, particularly in their remote work environment.

‍Manual and Disjointed Processes:

Before implementing Chezuba’s Competition Module, BAMKO relied on manual processes using Excel spreadsheets, emails, and ad hoc communications to track volunteer hours and participation in competitions. This method was time-consuming and prone to errors.

‍Remote Work Environment:

With a global team and a primarily remote workforce, BAMKO faced the challenge of maintaining a strong sense of community and connection across diverse offices. The company sought a way to unite its employees around a common cause, even in a virtual setting.

‍Limited Visibility and Tracking:

Without an integrated platform, BAMKO lacked an efficient way to track participation in real time, measure the impact of volunteer efforts, and provide feedback to employees, which made it difficult to foster friendly competition and celebrate milestones.

Solution

By adopting , BAMKO addressed these challenges effectively and enhanced employee participation in their volunteer programs:

Automated Tracking and Reporting: The Competition Module automated the tracking of volunteer hours, participation, and points, eliminating the need for manual updates and reducing administrative overhead. BAMKO’s HR team could now easilymonitor volunteer efforts, ensuring that every employee’s contribution was accurately recorded and reported.

Real-Time Leaderboards and Engagement: The module provided a live leaderboard feature, allowing employees to view their progress and compare their efforts against other teams. This feature was integrated with BAMKO’s primary communication tool, Slack, where weekly updates were posted to maintain visibility and drive healthy competition.

Remote Team Integration: BAMKO’s geographically dispersed teams were brought together through the Competition Module’s easy-to-use interface and Slack integration. Employees could engage with each other and encourage their teams. This helped bridge the gap caused by remote working.

Enhanced User Experience: BAMKO employees appreciated the platform’s user-friendly design, which gave them autonomy to track their own participation and access volunteer opportunities.
