From Policy to Practice: Bridging the Workplace Volunteering Disconnect
77% of companies offer paid volunteering time, yet 38% of employees never volunteer.
Employee volunteering is no longer a “nice to have”. It's a business-critical lever for improving retention, engagement, wellbeing, and purpose at work. Yet despite widespread interest from employees and well-meaning company policies, most organisations fail to convert intent into impact.
OnHand surveyed 471 employees across different industries and organisation sizes to understand the gap between their volunteering policy and practice.
Download the handbook to understand the full picture of employee disengagement, and gather the tools to bridge the workplace volunteering disconnect.
