Corporate Social Responsibility

Today’s heightened interest in the role of businesses in society has been promoted by increased awareness of environmental, ethical and social issues. CSR is on the radar but how do you ensure that your policy is right and that it will be effective?

It’s important when a company develops a CSR policy - or allocates resources to a project - that people ‘get it’.EV CiC schemes are viewed as appropriate and effective by volunteers, community participants and the public.

Volunteering and HR imperatives

It is generally understood that an effective CSR programme and employee volunteering can help to build brand differentiation and generate customer loyalty.

Employee volunteering is also an effective way to increase the recruitment and retention of staff.

Companies can bolster professional development and team building requirements as well as delivering measurable benefits to their local communities.

Employee volunteers and motivation

Our volunteers will tell you that participation in EV CiC events helps them in a practical way to achieve work/life balance, to continue their personal development and to feel good about their employer.

They also derive great satisfaction from the knowledge that people have benefited from their presence as an organiser, helping hand or mentor.
