How we work
How we work
The approach
The Human Safety Net is a net bringing together the expertise and experience of dozens of NGOs, social enterprises and experts worldwide. It is a community acting together to amplify each organization’s impact. In addition to financing our partners through grants, our approach includes:
- an open platform,
- a robust methodology for each programme,
- a shared framework for measuring our collective impact,
- a global volunteering platform
- advocacy at the national and international levels,
- an annual summit open to all our partners for peer-to-peer exchange and knowledge sharing.
Volunteering
Generali’s employees and agents represent more than 200,000 people, offering a huge engagement asset. Our volunteering framework, co-designed with our NGO partners and HR professionals, takes into account three success factors: Quantity, Quality, and Sustainability, and includes various possibilities for employees to offer their skills and time in a meaningful way.
Measuring our impact
We decided to base our measurement system on a shared framework that not only tracks collective results, but enables each partner to share evidence and learn from one another, triggering a virtuous cycle of knowledge and improvement. A shared digital tool helps all our partners track the progress and long-term outcomes of their work.
NetWorks: our annual summit
The second edition of The Human Safety Net’s Global NetWorks Event closed on September 20th, 2019 in Venice. More than 240 participants came together from all over the world, including 40 leading NGOs from 20 countries, inspiring changemakers, Generali’s people and 25 volunteers. They connected, shared ideas and took action on early childhood development, refugee entrepreneurship and newborn health.
