Employee Supported Volunteering

Employee Supported Volunteering  is good for your business and good for your workforce. Employees who volunteer through work are twice as likely to rate the corporate culture as positive, feel loyal to and proud to work for the company, be satisfied with career progression and be satisfied with their employer.

Volunteer Together as a Team

Volunteering together, as a team, is really popular and it’s easy to see why.  It is a brilliant way of experiencing something completely different as a group, having fun and crucially achieving something really worthwhile.  Whether you are a team of work colleagues, a group of friends, a faith group or even a family – team volunteering is an easy and enjoyable way to get involved and make a difference.

Team Opportunities for Employees

People who work well together as a team are one of the most valuable assets any employer can have. There are many team building tools available but few are as satisfying, inexpensive and widely beneficial as a community challenge. Rather than spending large amounts of money on a conventional team building day, connecting with a local community-based organisation can provide both employers and teams with many benefits:

  • Great value for money
  • An outstanding sense of achievement for all who take part
  • A real team building experience, impossible to replicate in the training room
  • Delivery of your corporate social responsibility policy objectives

More and more companies, big and small, are now seeing the benefits of team volunteering challenges in their local community. There is no charge for choosing one of the one-off/event team volunteering opportunities below.  (NB: if they happen outside your normal employment hours you should consider time off in lieu arrangements.)

If there’s nothing of interest listed below, email us with your “offer” of support and we’ll consider including it (also free of charge) in our blog with it going out to subscribing community and charity organisers and via email bulletin to 200+ Portsmouth based groups and organisations – they can then respond with suitable opportunities/tasks that we don’t already know about which we’ll pass to you to progress and/or blog for other teams.  Please note that this process usually requires at least 6 weeks notice if you have a specific date(s) in mind. If you would like Portsmouth Together to act as a broker between your company and the host organisation, to source suitable opportunities, and to co-ordinate the arrangements, a fee will apply.  Email us to request more details.
