Subject: Workshop and Seminar on Corporate Volunteer Management, 28-29 May 2008, Bangalore

Dear Prarthana,

Workshop and Seminar on Corporate Volunteer Management

Wednesday-Thursday 28-29 May 2008, Hotel Central Park, Bangalore

If building a more committed, engaged, creative and energetic workplace is high on your company's agenda, then corporate volunteering might be the foundation of your staff retention and development program.

CII is organizing Workshop and Seminar on Corporate Volunteer Management on Wednesday-Thursday, 28-29 May 2008, at Hotel Central Park in Bangalore to share the knowledge on corporate volunteer management and practical tips on how to manage it in your company.

Context:

Corporate volunteering is usually the cornerstone in social responsibility strategies, whereby the company facilitates activities where the employees themselves can engage in much-needed community work through various NGOs. The trend is fast growing in India.

CSR in the form of employee volunteer programs creates a win-win situation for businesses, employees and the communities in which they serve. More employees are working to ensure that their employee volunteer efforts contribute to fulfilling the company's business goals, and bring tangible benefits. When strategically integrated, employee volunteer programs can bring about a number of value-added benefits to the business, employees, and communities in which they operate.

If building a more committed, engaged, creative and energetic workplace is high on your company's agenda, then corporate volunteering might be the foundation of your staff retention and development program.

Benefits to business can include:  

• Improved corporate public image
• Enhanced impact of monetary contributions
• Improved relations with community and government
• Creation of "healthier" communities
• Attracting better employees and increased retention

Key takeaways:

• Current and best employee volunteerism practices
• New approaches to employee volunteerism
