My company would like to offer corporate volunteering. How can this be organised?
Before you start a corporate volunteering project, you should clarify a few questions that will make it easier for you to find volunteer opportunities later on:
| Duration & availabilty |
One-time assignment or regular activity? Number of hours per week/month/year? |
| Fields of action |
Social issues, health, nature & environment, culture, sports, etc. Commitment to the association or its beneficiaries? |
| Type of voluntary work/mission |
Practical/ manual work, skills-based mission (skills sponsorship/ pro bono), charitable work? Individual or group volunteering? |
| Number of volunteers |
Total number of volunteers? Number per assignment (individual or in groups)? |
| Location | Company community, close to employees' homes, mobile working, other? |
| Resources/financial contribution | Company donation, donation in kind, donation from employees |
| People involved |
Management, HR, Employee representatives Designate a contact person |
| Expectations | Motivation for Corporate Volunteering? |
| Partner association/ organisation | Search for partners who fit the company's philosophy and values |
| Formalities to be clarified | Insurance provided by the employer, joint agreement, travel expenses, etc. |
