Employees are increasingly finding that robust workplace volunteer programs meet their desires for in-person connections, professional growth, and altruistically inclined employers, which might be missing in conventional corporate atmospheres. The surge in interest in volunteer programs post-pandemic resulted in more corporate partners, volunteer hours, and active participants in 2023, as reported by Benevity.
Even employees who don't volunteer themselves feel better about working in organizations with strong public-spirited cultures. Jessica Rodell, a management professor, highlighted that companies with robust volunteer programs have lower turnover rates. Volunteering can help employees invest themselves in the company and feel more connected to its mission, reducing the likelihood of leaving for another job.
