On paper, paying employees to work elsewhere may not sound like it makes good business sense! But in fact, corporate volunteering is growing in popularity and for many valid reasons. It can help to boost the physical health and mental well-being of your team, not to mention the positive impact it can have on the wider community. So, ahead of Volunteers Week, the Occupational Healthcare experts at YourGP round up their top six benefits of corporate volunteering.
Corporate volunteering involves employees undertaking volunteer work during their usual paid working hours. To get the most out of such an initiative, talk to your team about the issues they are most passionate about. Do they want to help in the fight against climate change, for example? If so, they could spend a day assisting at a community garden or litter-picking the local area. Or would they prefer to do their bit to tackle poverty by helping at a food bank, for example?
Whatever cause your business decides to support, every little helps. Contact local charities and community groups and ask how they would like you to get involved. Even if your team volunteers for just one day per year, it could make all the difference – to the charity and to your team.
Volunteers Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering in their communities. It runs 1st – 7th June and there are lots of resources available at www.volunteersweek.org to inspire your team to give back.
Empowering your employees to give back to their local community can have multiple mental and physical health benefits. Here are just a few of our favourites:
Will your team be volunteering this month? Find us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and let us know what rewarding and meaningful things you’ll be contributing to.

I was warmly greeted by staff with genuine smiles. The staff made me feel very comfortable and engaged me in conversation about several topics which made waiting pass very pleasantly. I noticed they were proactive in making each person who arrived feel welcome, including the courier.
