Part two of a series<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n We recently announced an internal initiative<\/a> to help our employees make a difference in their community by using digital payment technologies.<\/p>\n Thanks to a lot of hard work from our Shared Services, Marketing and Digital Technology teams in Cincinnati<\/a>, Columbus<\/a>, Miami<\/a> and Tampa, we have launched the Centric Connect Charitable Giving Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, our employees with an Apple Pay<\/a> or Android Pay<\/a> compatible smartphone can make a charitable donation to nonprofit organizations that, like Centric, are committed to making a difference in people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n This is a first for Centric, the management consulting industry and the communities in which we live.<\/p>\n As the concept of \u201cgoing to work\u201d has moved from a physical office location to an increasingly virtual and digital workforce, we needed a better way to engage with our employees in a way that was flexible and transparent without clogging their email. A higher number of our younger employees, as well as the proliferation of bring-your-own-technology, also implied a more flexible, iterative approach was needed. This was bigger than building an app.<\/p>\n Centric employees have been using the Connect mobile app to access three things:<\/p>\n Employees now have a fourth use for the app: To make a financial donation to their favorite charitable organization through\u00a0mobile payments.<\/p>\n To participate in the program, charitable organizations need to have an existing relationship with Centric Consulting. Organizations also need to complete a secure, one-time registration on our website that takes just minutes to complete and requires creating a Stripe<\/a> account.<\/p>\n Given that igniting passion for the greater good is one of Centric\u2019s core values, we saw this as an opportunity to apply some digital technology innovation and a \u201cmobile first\u201d mindset to charitable giving and social responsibility.<\/p>\n We understand there are many options for people to donate to charitable organizations of choice, but we wanted to build social purpose into the activities of our daily lives by using the mobile wallet that\u2019s in your pocket.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in knowing more about mobile payments for corporate social responsibility programs, our Digital<\/a>\u00a0team would love\u00a0to talk with you. Or if you\u2019d like to use the Centric Connect platform as an accelerator for your charitable giving program, drop us a note<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our employees can now make charitable donations to nonprofit organizations by using Apple or Android Pay’s mobile payment technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":26098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[15012],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-07-22 02:38:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13258"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13258"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centricconsulting.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=13258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Centric Connect Platform<\/h2>\n
