If you said that there was one thing that would potentially benefit any individual who tried it in terms of their health, wellbeing and skills; that would provide support to charities across the whole spectrum of their needs from fundraising to accounting via marketing and HR and would make employees think better of their employers and create a better corporate brand, you might wonder what this almost universal panacea was. The answer is, simply, volunteering. With volunteering, everyone involved in the eco system wins and wins in many diverse ways.This book aims to set out how each player can benefit and gives some practical tips about making the business case and making it happen. Employer volunteering schemes don't need to be complex or overly bureaucratic; but the best ones reflect the aims and the ethos of the companies and it's worth taking a little time to think it through.
