“Skills-based volunteering gives me another opportunity to explore who I am in a professional context. It allows me to bring more of myself to work, stretch my skills in new areas, and gain confidence in areas outside my core expertise.”
Increasingly, employees choose to work for companies with robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and programs. Inclusive work environments promote employee satisfaction and better work culture, leading to positive outcomes such as hitting business goals, faster innovation, and outperforming KPIs.
