For almost a decade Nationwide Title Clearing (NTC) has demonstrated how embracing the company’s social purpose should set a trend and encourage other companies to engage with communities. NTC has been participating in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) outreach efforts in the community for almost a decade. Recently, NTC officials have noticed how its community leadership has generated a positive response from employees. Through its “business with a purpose” mission, NTC has encouraged initiatives that emit a positive impact on the environment and surrounding community.
CSR is a process which encourages a positive impact through a company’s activities on the environment, community and surrounding public. Studies show that employees of companies that engage in community outreach efforts demonstrate more pride and commitment to their employers. NTC has witnessed first-hand the effects of CSR within a company’s culture:
- The number of employee volunteers has increased 233 percent since 2011;
- The number of volunteer hours increased and employees are donating their personal time to reach company goals;
- Staff members volunteer as a group or in pairs and sometimes bring their family members.
- Increased productivity has been seen in the number of special acknowledgments given to employees each year.
Both Twila Cole of the Humane Society Pinellas, and Amanda Brock of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, who also work with NTC on their CSR front, said the main focus and drive to working with corporations is to build a mutually beneficial relationship. Officials from both organizations say that NTC’s volunteering efforts are influential in their day-to-day success.
NTC has assisted its local community organizations such as the Homeless Emergency Project (HEP), and Feast Food Pantry (FEAST) by helping organize and participating in food drives and fundraisers. 
NTC also supports Toys for Tots®, the Greater Palm Harbor Chamber of Commerce and the Annual Harbor Art Festival – all for making their community a better place to live and work. NTC has raised over $43,000 for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Palm Harbor in its pasts four years of participation.
