Corporate Employee Volunteering is about businesses encouraging and supporting their employees’ involvement with the community – for mutual benefit. iVolunteer aligns employee volunteering interests to community needs and corporate goals to achieve maximum impact.
iVolunteer approach
Key principles for iVolunteer Services:
- Individual choice; employer supported
- Twin objectives – employee engagement & community impact
- Recognition & accountability
iVolunteer helps corporates strategise and execute a volunteering programme by engaging on:
- Policy (as advisors)
- Execution (as partners)
- Rewards & Recognition (third party certification)
iVolunteer believes engaging people is key to widespread adoption of CSR into the corporate DNA and works to embed and enlarge the scope of people engagement with volunteering as a starting point.
Refer iVolunteer's approach to instutionalise volunteering. Our 4E model transforms individuals through a curated journey of Exposure, Experience, Engagement and Evangelise (4Es) and prepares employee volunteers to engage in periodic, regular and skills based volunteering.
