In summary…
Emily Forsyth-Davies has recently revamped the Aurum Group’s UK employee volunteering offering. These are her three top suggestions for where to focus when designing a volunteering programme. Employer-supported volunteering gives employees the opportunity to volunteer during working hours. These volunteering programmes enable employees to support community organisations and charities with their time and skills.
This gives employees the chance to build connections with community organisations and charities as well as giving back to society in alignment with their values and passions. Employees also gain the opportunity to develop key soft skills in areas such as coaching, leadership and organisational abilities.
