What types of corporate volunteering opportunities exist for your company?
Employee volunteering can be difficult to organize, as it’s heavily dependent on company size and scheduling. But ultimately, volunteering can have huge benefits for company culture, as it gives your employees an opportunity to build bonds while giving back to their community. In fact, a study by Cone Research found that 74 percent of employees say their job is more fulfilling when it provides them opportunities to make a positive impact.
Whether your a large office looking for a large-scale project such as mural installation, or a smaller organization which can help with invasive vegetation clearing or anything in between, Livable Buckhead can tailor a volunteer opportunity to your specifics in a way that will give back to the Buckhead community.
