Corporate Volunteering – Delivering Business Objectives through a Values Focused Mission
Part 5 of the Virtual Global Forum Series on Volunteering to Enable Change and Create a Better World
Today’s business leaders see their organizations and their employees as together having a stake in the wellbeing of their communities. The focus is changing from what corporations can do for you to what they can do with you. Corporate volunteering plays a big part in this shared sense of social purpose that gives the win-win-win effect, good for business, good for employees and good for wider society.
