Employer-Supported Volunteering is “any activity undertaken by an employer to encourage and support the volunteering of their employees in the community where they live and work” (IAVE, 2012). It can be a powerful way to support community projects, providing social and physical capital for charities, while connecting people with their community and aligning with employers’ HR objectives, such as recruitment, retention and professional development.
