Product Description

Synopsis

No one doubts that volunteering benefits the individual, the recipient, and society as a whole. Volunteering helps build community spirit and active citizenship; companies who help volunteers get better employees in return; and people who volunteer are happier and more successful. Yet, the number of volunteers has fallen. In this volume, all parties consider the role that government and business can play in pushing forward employee volunteering. The proposals put forward include: a less interventionist government approach to allow the business and voluntary sectors to reach their own solutions; government investment in the support infrastructure and information provision surrounding volunteering; raising the status of volunteering through advertising, awards and certificates; and a call for greater flexibility in work to make it easier to combine paid employment with voluntary work. It features contributions from John Baron MR, Alistair Carmichael MP, Professor Sir Bernard Crick, Michelle Dow, Fiona Mactaggart MP, Monica OWen and Peter Truesdale.
