Employer Supported Volunteering

Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) occurs when companies actively support and encourage employees to take part in voluntary activity within their local community.

By becoming involved with ESV your organisation could benefit a great deal from:

• A new source of volunteers with practical skills
• A close relationship with companies active in the community
• Volunteers who may be happy to complete 'one-off' tasks
• Enhanced publicity for your organisation

The key difference for ESV is that volunteers have the open support of their company which may provide resources as well as giving recognition and publicity to their efforts.

Employers benefit from:

• Human resources - skills, morale, loyalty, recruitment
• Improved communication
• Cost effective public relations

As an employee, you benefit from:

• Personal development
• Improved quality of life
• Having an impact on the community

Voluntary organisations benefit from:

• Access to new resources
• Improved public relations
• Having an impact on the future

 

Investing in Volunteers for Employers is the UK award for recognising commitment to best practice in employer supported volunteering.
