MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH YOUR BUSINESS
employee volunteer work
As a company, you want to be meaningful. With the knowledge, expertise, time, talent and heart for society of colleagues, you can really make a difference. But: where do you start? How do you ensure a truly sustainable impact? In a way that suits your organization and employees?
If you know us a little, you know that we like to help. From an impact strategy that activates every employee, an inspiring communication campaign with its own impact platform to a concrete event, such as a social team outing. Or something in between. That is not magic by the way, but simply years of experience transformed into a proven methodology, which leads to guaranteed results. You can read more about it below.

FROM CSR POLICY TO MISSION ACHIEVED
A CSR mission or CSR purpose often remains an adventure on paper. Leave the paper jungle behind you and go from a sustainable ambition to sustainable impact. Take your colleagues on a journey and discover that doing something good not only makes a difference for the person you help, the neighborhood or the world. But also for yourself, your team, the company and even your customers.
Our ' technology-for-good ' and activation campaigns bring your organization's mission to life in a way that fits. With smart tools and advice, you can navigate the often complex social domain of volunteering. Do it right the first time with your own platform, or try it out with a social team outing. Or combine them with each other for even more impact!

Benefits of Employee Volunteering
You probably already know why you want to be meaningful as a company. You see the social challenges around you growing, or becoming more important. Did you know that research shows that social entrepreneurship, employee volunteering (or corporate volunteering ) also has a lot of positive impact on your organization and business operations? Even more reasons to put the CSR policy into practice:

Increased involvement
Doing something good together creates a bond. With colleagues, but also with your company. 94% feel more positive after doing volunteer work through work.

Attractive employer
60% of employees find doing something good through their work important when choosing their employer. For Millennials, this number goes up to 91%!

Healthy employees
When employees are allowed to volunteer through their work, 76% report feeling healthier and 78% less stressed. It also creates more connections among colleagues and job satisfaction.

Strengthened image & reputation
Not only employees but also consumers appreciate a good corporate volunteering strategy. For example, 55% of Millennials are willing to pay extra for products or services that support a higher purpose.

Personal development
Volunteering and social involvement in general helps personal development: it broadens your perspective and provides new insights.

Skills development
Doing something good often creates a different environment, which refreshes knowledge and skills or stimulates creativity. It can also be a great opportunity to learn or develop something new in a playful way.
Extra bonus: activities for employees that you carry out in a social context (MBO/MVO/CSR) are WKR-proof !
GIVE AN HOUR - DE VOLKSBANK
Volksbank stands for a better Netherlands. They put this into practice through a collaboration with NLvoorelkaar: their own impact platform where all employees and customers can make a difference by donating an hour. Because although an hour is not much (for example, there are more than 5000 in a month), an hour already makes a difference when you need help.
Do you have an hour? Give it to someone else with Volksbank!
You're in (doing) good company:










CREATE YOUR OWN PLACE
FOR IMPACT
With your own impact platform you create a place where everything comes together. Your CSR objectives and CSR programs meet the impact initiatives, employee volunteer activities, events and challenges of, for and by your employees. That makes activating colleagues easy and the realized impact measurable and insightful.
Own platform and app
With over 65 volunteer platforms, we know what works. Your platform and web app are delivered ready to use. Including a handy CMS so you can add content (from campaign pages to volunteer challenges) whenever you want.
All volunteer work at a glance
The key to success: ensure sufficient doing good activities. Because although everyone wants to do something good, the way in which they do it differs greatly. In your neighbourhood or internationally. Something social, green or cultural. A challenge or doing something together? By connecting to the NLvoorelkaar network with 13,000+ non-profits and the possibility to add initiatives yourself, the choice is always huge.
Not seeking but bringing
"I got such good matches that I had no choice but to commit myself", Wouter's legendary words, perfectly underlining that we make making an impact super easy. With the latest techniques, we bring the best matches to you, so you don't have to search anymore.
successful social impact program
Inform, inspire and activate every employee on their journey to impact. Communication is another key to a successful social impact program.
We are happy to use our suitcase full of marketing and communication techniques and experience to transform the power, time and talent of your employees and colleagues into social impact. From onboarding to events, from storytelling, guerrilla activation and gamification to building a sustainable community.

International Charity Day - Coty
For Coty we organised the largest GOOD beauty day ever: at dozens of locations in the Netherlands, elderly people, sick young people and their loved ones were pampered!
SOCIAL OUTINGS
Do you want to organize a socially responsible team outing, team building, staff day, company outing or an event with volunteer work or social impact? Smart of you, because that always yields a triple win: for society of course, but also for your company and staff . Extra nice: sustainable outings are exempt from the work costs scheme!
Organization tips
A social and sustainable team outing or social company outing is super diverse. What do you think of a social clean-up in the green, a happiness walk with the elderly, getting kickboxing lessons from underprivileged youth, creating a garden for or going to the zoo together, cinema or just nice shopping. Choose something that suits you as an organization, colleagues and mission. That delivers the most sustainable impact for all of you.
Organizing a social outing takes time, just like other outings. To come up with the perfect concept that suits you, to arrange, inspire, coordinate, guide and of course to report back your impact. Sometimes there are additional costs: think of a cup of coffee with something tasty, a ticket for the zoo etc.
Are you on a tight budget? You can organize a social team outing yourself relatively easily:
Post an offer of help from you/your team/the company so that non-profits can easily contact you via NLvoorelkaar.nl
Or respond to one of the open volunteer activities for groups
Or take the plunge and call the volunteer coordinator at a nursing home or day care center. They always have room for extra helping hands in their activity programs! Also the Jarige Job foundation, Food Bank, Salvation Army and NLdoet (1 weekend per year) are places where groups of colleagues can often go to roll up their sleeves for impact.
A few more organizational tips: inspire your colleagues with a nice invitation, keep a registration list, draw up an agenda for the afternoon with plenty of room for something tasty and a good conversation and don't forget the photos (and permission for them!).
Don't feel like organizing it yourself? There are several event agencies that can arrange it for you!
Example: team outing at Volksbank
