Corporate Communities - Paid Volunteerism
Civic-mindedness has become an asset in the workplace. One of the biggest trends in the volunteer world today is corporate philanthropy. One way employers show support of local and national programs is through paid employee volunteerism. These corporate volunteer programs give employees a chance to volunteer during work hours. Companies that offer employee volunteer programs strive to attract, retain and foster more committed employees. Employers overwhelmingly look favorably on job applicants who have volunteered. Including related and non-related volunteer work on a résumé can often showcase skills, as well as reveal an openness to teamwork and a talent for innovation.
The Work Bridge Group is dedicated to helping employers, employees and the volunteer local community connect. Our top focus is to support injured workers, and their sponsoring employers, in coordinating effective return-to-work programs that make sense.
People Volunteer for a variety of reasons.
Some are motivated by altruistic values. Some seek social justice. Others see service as a way to enable a democratic political system. Whatever your reason, volunteering can transform you and the world around you.
