iVolunteer compiled insights and learnings from 15 companies across India. What do you think of the ideas shared in report?
Thank you for sharing. This has good insights. In my experience at corporates, smaller group of employees with shared volunteering experiences stuck together and planned various activities themselves and stuck to them. Maybe we should look at smaller Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for volunteering, a close-knit, cause based volunteering groups.
Interesting… how does one trade off “quality of volunteering experience” with corporates’ need to clock numbers, though?
This is an interesting insight @Chetana. Thank you for sharing this. I am going to pass this on to my team for a new perspective!
Yeah! It’s tricky to get huge number of volunteering hours with this model. The higher number of SIGs/groups can be a possibility. Another way could be to motivate and incentivize these smaller groups to engage more employees in their activities.
Possibly- but doubt the HR/CSR folks will have the patience for this to grow organically given they might have # of vols/ hours targets.

They don’t have time for this Venkat. Usually the teams responsible for employee engagement is too thin and have too much on their plate. We need to give this organic model a name like Agile, Sprint etc to make it sound glossy for them to adopt it.
It was a beneficial document for someone like us just starting with corporate volunteering programs.
