Just released: Impact Goals in the Deed Engage employee app

You can now show your company’s impact goals and progress on the Deed Engage employee app home screen, built on the Impact Measurement tools you already use in Organizer.

Impact Measurement is how Deed Engage turns volunteer activity into real-world outcomes like meals served, trees planted, or hours given. Until now, those totals have mostly lived with admins. We think employees do their best work when they can see what it adds up to, so we’re putting company goals in front of them.

How it fits together

• Impact Units and Indicators: A unit is what you count (meals, trees, hours). An indicator is what you’re measuring (Meals Served).
• Impact on Events and Projects: Link an Event or Project to an indicator, then enter the realized value after it wraps, such as 250 meals served. That adds to the indicator’s total and counts toward any goal tracking it.
• Actions: Link an Action to an indicator and set an amount, such as 10 meals per completion. Every time an employee completes it, the total updates automatically.
• Impact Goals: Set a target and date range, like “10,000 meals this quarter.” Employees see live progress.
• Volunteer Hours goals: These need no indicator setup. They run on approved hours logged against Events and Projects.

What’s new

• What’s changing: Employees can see company impact goals and progress in the employee app. Volunteer-hours goals also show their own approved hours.
• Who it affects: Admins using Impact Measurement, and their employees.
• What it means for you: Employees see “6,200 of 10,000 meals,” days left, and a “Goal reached!” moment, with no extra reporting from you.
• Timing: Out now!
• What you need to do: Nothing changes until you choose. Goals are hidden from employees by default. To share one, switch on “show in employee app” in Organizer and pick your top two home screen goals.

What outcome would you most like your employees to see progress on: volunteer hours, meals served, or something else?
