Employee Engagement
Voya Financial employees have a long history of contributing time, talent and financial support to better the communities where we, and our customers, live and work. They foster a deep culture of giving.
Through the Employee Giving Campaign (EGC), our robust volunteer programs and executive board placement program, employees are helping to drive positive change. While employee engagement benefits the community, it also helps our employees gain new skills, expand professional networks, gain fresh perspective, discover creativity and practice collaboration skills.
Employee volunteerism programs
We strongly believe in the value of service to the community because it helps employees live our corporate values, fosters their career development, boosts productivity and is the right thing to do. We approach volunteering through several avenues:
National Days of Service
National Days of Service (NDOS) is a company-wide program harnessing the greatest asset we have to share — Voya employees. Across the company, executives and employees have the opportunity to participate in a diverse array of community initiatives during NDOS.
Learn more about our volunteerism programs in our 2025 Impact Report.
Employee giving programs
One vehicle for our employees to demonstrate their commitment to the community is our year-long employee giving program. We exemplify our giving program with a month-long engagement campaign that heightens awareness each September.
Employee Giving Campaign
Each year, employees give generously by raising millions of dollars during the Employee Giving Campaign in September, as well as year-round. When employees contribute to a qualified charity, Voya Foundation matches dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000 per full-time employee per year. This investment creates a meaningful difference in our local communities and reinforces our corporate value We Care.

Empowering communities through meaningful employee benefits
Each year Voya employees serve their communities — and enrich their own lives — by participating in the company’s Volunteer Time Away program, which allows employees to volunteer for up to 40 paid hours per year during their normal workday.
When an employee volunteers 50 hours or more on their personal time to an eligible nonprofit organization, Voya Foundation donates $500 to the nonprofit organization.
Through a competitive application process, Voya employees are chosen to participate in an annual employee volunteer sabbatical project delivering shoes, learning supplies and financial literacy skills to schools in need. In partnership with Soles4Souls, employees have completed the sabbatical in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Arizona, Tennessee, Texas and California.
Executive Board Placement Program
The Voya Enterprise Leadership Team nonprofit board program is designed to further our community impact and provides opportunities for select Voya executives to serve on nonprofit boards in their local communities. The initiative is mutually beneficial by providing nonprofits with business expertise and promoting deeper connections to the communities where Voya offices are located.
