What is Employer Supported Volunteering?

We sat down with Lisa to find out how being given time by her employer to volunteer – through Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) – has helped her.

Lisa explains how ESV has helped her to develop communication skills, customer relationship skills, make friends and connections, and benefitted her mental health.

We also hear from Sarah at Eden Animal Rescue, who explains why volunteers like Lisa are so important to helping them do their work.

And Judith explains how giving employees time to volunteer not only helps the individual, but also benefits the employer with staff skills development, retention, motivation and more.

There’s a shorter version with captions too:
