Our Impact
Service to our community is a core principle at Next Level Performance. Throughout the year, we provide financial support to regional and national organizations, with a particular focus on supporting children and families in crisis and fighting food insecurity in our local community and across the country. Our community involvement is an extension of our commitment to responsible business practices and corporate social responsibility.
Each summer, the entire Next Level Performance team comes together for HOPE Week (Help Others Persevere and Excel) — inspired by the New York Yankees initiative of the same name. Our corporate social responsibility activities range from fulfilling wish lists for the local Ronald McDonald House to stocking the Rutgers Food Pantry for food-insecure college students in our community. We are honored to partner with impactful organizations including the Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Elijah’s Promise, and the Children’s Specialized Hospital among many others.
Additionally, every Next Level Performance teammate is invited to make an annual charitable donation to the organization of their choice as a benefit of their employment. We also integrate charitable giving into our recognition and engagement initiatives throughout the year.
We believe that a rising tide lifts all boats and are honored to help our community partners support those in need.
At Next Level Performance, giving back isn’t just something we do – it’s an important part of who we are.
Incentive Industry Leadership & Education
Our service commitment extends to the incentive and recognition industry and providing learning opportunities for our teammates. That’s why the Next Level Performance team can always be found in the boardrooms and education sessions of incentive, recognition, and engagement industry organizations.
Our incentive and recognition experts regularly contribute as speakers, writers, panelists, and board and committee members with organizations in the industry.
The work we do with our industry colleagues deepens the understanding of motivation and engagement in businesses worldwide. This improves our practice as providers and brings new insight to our clients.
