EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING STRATEGY GUIDE

The popularity of corporate volunteering is growing rapidly, with companies of all shapes and sizes recognising the benefits of encouraging staff to take up digital and skills-based volunteering opportunities with a variety of charitable organisations. The appeal of the concept is clear – your staff gain valuable experience and learning while leveraging their skills and training to assist worthy causes, in turn playing a key role in your corporate social responsibility strategy and demonstrating to your stakeholders your commitment to being a responsible business.

Although this might sound straightforward enough on the surface, in reality corporate volunteering is an involved process that must be managed correctly. It’s easy to think that you can simply pick some charities and send your staff to volunteer there, but you’ll need a strategy to identify what sort of volunteering is right for your company, how to keep staff engaged and whether your volunteering programme is serving your and your stakeholders’ best interests.

Achieving optimal results for all parties means setting clear goals, having a plan in place and developing your approach over time.
