From The Chronicle: Benefits of Company Volunteer Programs

Volunteering programs that use and hone skills are an effective and inexpensive professional-development tool, according to a national survey of human-resource managers, The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports. Yet few companies regularly integrate employee training needs into volunteer activities.

Comments

  1. I cannot relate, as a member of the Armed Forces we have always followed our leadership in community activities. It is an important part of our job. We all understand that we are all only a few paychecks from the food lines and living out of our cars or trucks. I am not stating that we live above our means, but even annual and sick leave will run out. If your children have left home they are never to far away for you to help them when they are in need. If we do not have a connection with our community then we will lose compassion for the people that have not been so fortunate as we.

    Bro. Ron
