Thanks for coming everyone. OK, so this meeting is for new staff and staff who haven’t been involved with
our volunteering projects yet. So basically, the idea is that we allow staff to give up some of their work
time to help on various charity projects to benefit the local community. We’ve been doing this for the last
five years and it’s been very successful.
Participating doesn’t necessarily involve a huge time commitment.
The company will pay for eight hours
of your time. That can be used over one or two days all at once, or spread over several months
throughout the year
Q11
. There are some staff who enjoy volunteering so much they also give up their
own free time for a couple of hours every week. It’s completely up to you. Obviously, many people will
have family commitments and aren’t as available as other members of staff.
Feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive.
Because they felt they were doing something
really useful, nearly everyone agreed that volunteering made them feel more motivated at work
Q12
. They also liked building relationships with the people in the local community and felt valued by them.
One or two people also said it was a good thing to have on their CVs.
One particularly successful project last year was the Get Working Project. This was aimed at helping
unemployed people in the area get back to work.
Our staff were able to help them improve their telephone
skills, such as writing down messages and speaking with confidence to potential customers, which
they had found quite difficult
Q13
. This is something many employers look for in job applicants – and
something we all do without even thinking about, every day at work.
We’ve got an exciting new project starting this year. Up until now, we’re mainly focused on projects to do
with education and training. And we’ll continue with out reading project in schools and our work with local
charities.
