Aligning Levy Gifting with Corporate Values
Capita has been strategic in its approach to gifting the Levy.
"The ease or complexity of gifting your levy largely depends on the provider you choose to work with."
Capita's levy gifting strategy aligns perfectly with their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and values. It reduces inequality in professional development and supports diversity, contributing to the growth of smaller organisations and social enterprises.
Claire offers valuable advice to organisations considering gifting their apprenticeship levy. For organisations new to the concept of levy gifting, Claire encourages them to seek guidance from learning providers and absorb knowledge to make the most of their funds.
"The ease or complexity of gifting your levy largely depends on the provider you choose to work with. Some organisations might prefer a hands-off approach, simply entrusting providers with their levy funds and a mandate to use them for maximum impact, aligning with their strategy. Others might opt for a more hands-on involvement, delving into the nitty-gritty details, seeking a deeper understanding of how their levy investment translates into tangible effects, impacts, and operational efficiencies. It's a flexible process tailored to each individual's preferences and objectives."
Looking ahead, Capita plans to be more strategic in their levy gifting approach.
The team will attempt to get better insight into who Capita gifts to, and how they track and manage the funds to maximise their impact.
Collaboration with different teams within the organisation, such as responsible business and growth teams, will be crucial to align their strategy with their CSR goals.
Capita's journey of apprenticeship levy gifting is an inspiring example of corporate philanthropy and responsible business practices.
Their commitment to reducing inequality, supporting diversity, and positively impacting communities through strategic levy gifting is a testament to the power of corporate social responsibility.
