Canada’s non-profit volunteer landscape is continuously evolving. Time, money, and donations of material items are constantly in demand. Corporations have the resources to fill the gaps.
In Manitoba, large and small businesses alike have room for growth in corporate social responsibility. The pandemic has altered our way of life because of restrictions on what we can and can’t do. Incorporating an Employer-Supported Volunteer program into your workplace not only benefits the non-profit but increases employee loyalty. Increasingly, younger workers want the company they work for to include a way of giving back to the community. Findings from a survey done by Deloitte, show “more millennials feel their employers are creating diverse and inclusive work environments (up to 71%, from 68% in 2019) and having a positive impact on communities (up to 69%, from 65%).”
This white paper looks at how non-profits can encourage corporations to partner with them through Employer-Supported Volunteer opportunities. It also includes insight from corporations in Winnipeg that already have long-lasting partnerships with non-profits. These two perspectives show how both non-profits and businesses can benefit from working together through Employer-Supported Volunteer programs.
