Key Takeaways:

• Empowerment unlocks leadership. Employees who take ownership of giving back also step up in other areas of their work and lives.
• Impact is about intentionality. It's not just about how much money you give—it’s about who is involved in making the decisions.
• A stakeholder model creates balance. Every decision at Daycos is run through the lens of employees, customers, community, and business sustainability.
• Philanthropy is learned behavior. By exposing employees (and now their kids) to giving, Daycos is shaping future leaders and changemakers.
