Employee volunteerism increased last year, with more employers offering volunteer time off and a broader array of volunteering opportunities.
61% of the surveyed companies reported an increase in volunteerism in 2023, citing increased virtual and in-person volunteering options as well as the introduction of skills-based volunteering.
Volunteerism is seen as an effective strategy for increasing employee engagement and aligning corporate values with employee values.
Volunteer programs can have a positive impact on employee satisfaction, professional development, and growth, while also helping with recruiting efforts.
