The benefits of volunteering
 |
Could you and your company reap the rewards of volunteering? Volunteering provides great team building and development opportunities whilst giving something back to the community.
Benefits for business can include: Better communication and team work what is better than overcoming a real challenge like clearing woodlands, erecting a shed or helping at a community event to strengthen team dynamics and create a better level of understanding and trust within the organisation. Opportunities for learning and leadership these may not be immediately available in the workplace but can be gained with skills based volunteering. The value of skilled support in general operations, technology and professional services roles can be 500 percent greater to community groups than the value of traditional volunteering.
Confidence building helping someone achieve their goals, sharing knowledge, stepping outside comfort zones and making a difference to someone's life directly, can help your employees recognise all the valuable skills they have to share. From helping someone with IT skills to providing companionship to someone who really needs it. Your employees can make a real difference.
Volunteering is often a way for companies to get really involved in their local communities, build relationships and raise their company profile.
