‘TQ Giving Back’ offers charitable organizations significantly discounted – and in some cases, free – access to human capital consulting services and talent management software solutions.
ATLANTA, February 4, 2010 – TalentQuest, a human capital management and software solutions firm, today introduces a new strategic approach to supporting the communities in which it operates. TQ Giving Back will enable qualified nonprofit organizations to take advantage of the same value-added software solutions and consulting services it provides businesses like Coca-Cola Enterprises, Cbeyond, Coldwell Banker, The Federal Reserve Bank, KPMG, Mizuno, Morgan Stanley, Mueller Water Products and Tech Data, at a fraction of the cost.
“We recognize that the work that nonprofit organizations do is incredibly important,” said Dr. Frank Merritt, TalentQuest’s CEO. “As such, we have always encouraged and supported our employees’ involvement in the community. Over the years this level of support has evolved to include contributions of our consultants’ professional time and discounted access to our software on a case-by-case basis.”
For many years, TalentQuest has been working with select nonprofit organizations on a discounted or free basis, including The Atlanta Union Mission, The Georgia Cancer Coalition, East Atlanta Kids Club, North Avenue Presbyterian Church, The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, The Special Olympics, Planned Parenthood, The Atlanta Opera, 21st Century Leaders and Junior Achievement of Georgia.
“Although we have always been proud of these contributions, we felt we could have an even greater impact with an organized, strategic approach to donating our time and services,” said Ann Evangelista, managing director of consulting services for TalentQuest’s Atlanta office. “TQ Giving Back takes our commitment to the next level, ensuring that our services and solutions are made available to all qualified nonprofit organizations, not just those with which our employees are personally involved.”
Below is a summary of the opportunities available to nonprofit organizations and the contributions that TalentQuest will make via its TQ Giving Back program.
- Qualified organizations will be provided access to TalentQuest’s software solutions at a 50 percent discount (including online assessments, performance management tools, organizational surveys, compensation management tools and 360 reviews).
- TalentQuest will donate up to $100,000 in consulting services each year through a grant program. Qualified organizations may submit applications for grants which will be reviewed by a committee comprised of TalentQuest employees as well as select clients and nonprofit leaders. Each will be considered on a case-by-case basis and grants will be awarded according to services needed.
- TalentQuest will donate up to $100,000 in consulting services and software solutions each year through a client appreciation program. As a token of the firm’s appreciation of their continued support, select TalentQuest clients will be given vouchers that they may pass along to nonprofit organizations of their choice. The organizations may apply these vouchers toward a variety of consulting services including board reviews, selection assessments, executive coaching and leadership development, or to TalentQuest’s software solutions including online assessments, performance reviews or compensation management, as desired.
TalentQuest will continue to support and encourage its employees’ individual contributions of time, providing four paid hours per month to volunteer at an organization of their choice. TalentQuest employees contribute approximately 1,500 volunteer hours each year to hundreds of organizations in all areas of service, including arts and sciences, health, the environment, technology, social justice and organizations providing services for women and children.
In difficult times like these, it is more important than ever to remember how fortunate we are and to share what we have – be it our time, our skills or our financial resources – with others,” said Merritt. “TalentQuest is committed to creating meaningful change in the communities we serve. We look forward to helping nonprofit organizations create a positive, performance-based culture of recognition and reward and to enabling their leaders to focus less time and energy on talent management issues and more on accomplishing their organizations’ important missions.”
