Worldwide Clinical Trials (Worldwide) and GozAround Inc. have entered a partnership aimed at enhancing the global clinical research organization’s (CRO) corporate giving strategy, which promotes philanthropy, contribution, and teamwork within their organization. GozAround’s online platform is revolutionizing the way businesses, nonprofits, and individuals interact, by providing a hub to identify giving opportunities, gather support, and measure contributions.
Formalized social impact initiatives, once largely the purview of large enterprises, are now being adopted by businesses of all sizes. Organizations like Worldwide have long made substantial contributions but did not fully benefit from structured initiatives, awareness, and metrics. Through the adoption of these new technologies, Worldwide is innovating among CROs and other similarly sized companies as a force for good.
“Our team members are unified in cause – in the work they do for patients around the world, and in their collective belief that our actions should always have a net-positive impact on our communities,” comments Worldwide Clinical Trials President and CEO Peter Benton. “At both the corporate and individual levels, Worldwide actively contributes resources to improve the communities in which our employees work and live. Our corporate giving strategy is an important initiative for our company, furthered by a new employee donation matching program to support our team members in their contributions to causes that matter to them personally.”
Worldwide has more than 3,500 global employees, many of whom volunteer their time or donate funds to international, national, and community causes. However, measuring and effectively supporting the collective impact of those efforts can be challenging. To accomplish these goals, the company will utilize the GozAround platform to implement recognition programs, donation matching, and data collection initiatives, thereby encouraging, recognizing, and building upon employee giving.
“Businesses are increasingly expected to make their corporate social responsibility quantifiable and transparent to remain globally competitive,” says GozAround CEO Ben Block.
“Technology is enabling businesses of all sizes to give back more efficiently while measuring and sharing those contributions. These innovations are crucial for meeting the growing expectation on businesses to provide relief to those in need and help solve some of the world’s most pressing issues,” he says.
Areas of therapeutic focus for Worldwide are aligned with pressing global health challenges, and include oncology, rare diseases, neuroscience, and cardiometabolic and inflammatory disease.
“We hope our partnership with GozAround inspires our team members to contribute in ways that work for them personally, and know that when they do, we are here to support and elevate those contributions,” concluded Benton.
