Matchable Volunteering

How you can get a positive ROI from your team volunteering: According to recent studies... 😮💨 A whopping 60% of employees leave companies as a result of a lack of purpose and seeking a fresh challenge Through meaningful volunteering tailored to your employees' individual interests, you can provide them with new and exciting ways to use and build their skillsets, all while giving them an inspiring experience outside of their day-to-day work! 📈 61 % of employees that do participate in workplace volunteering report higher job satisfaction 🤯 This can lead to up to a 57% reduction in employee turnover when your team is deeply connected to your volunteering efforts So, with an effective employee volunteering policy, you can create impact for causes your brand aligns with, help to build a culture your employees love, and even impact your business' bottom line > It's a win-win-win ⭐️ But...finding and organising regular volunteering opportunities that ALL of your team will love is hard to say the least. If you're tired of spending hours searching for volunteering that only a few people in your team take advantage of, then reach out for a chat to see how Matchable can make your life easier. #TeamVolunteering | #Volunteering | #SocialImpact | #TechForGood | #BCorp | #EmployeeWellbeing | #TeamBuilding

I did something great this afternoon. I used my volunteer day from Enfuse Group to collect surplus food for my local FoodCycle. It was a very easy two hour round trip and it's nice to know that my few hours of help will mean lots of people locally get a hot meal this evening. Recently at Enfuse, we brought in Matchable Volunteering to help the team who wanted to volunteer but weren't sure where to go. It's a very simple process that matches you with local or national volunteering opportunities (that can be in person or online). It couldn't be more easy! I can't wait to see what sort of volunteering the rest of the Enfuse Group team get up to. Who is going next? #VolunteeringDay #Volunteer #GivingSomethingBack

When you think of 'corporate volunteering', what comes to mind?...Painting a fence with your team? Planting a tree in a field? Running another bake sale in the office? But corporate volunteering doesn't have to be so, well, corporate... We're all about making volunteering fun and exciting, so here are some (less dull) alternatives to the employee volunteering you might be used to: 🌊 Regenerating coral reefs through eco-burials You read that correctly! Forget tree planting and get stuck into marketing, strategy, and design projects for a charity helping to bring new life to marine ecosystems by building artificial reef structures from human ashes! 🗺️ Filling out maps of crisis-prone areas around the world Only have 10-20 minutes to spare in your busy schedule, but would still love to volunteer? We've got you covered! We have 100s of quick 'at home' volunteering projects on the platform like this one helping to put the world's vulnerable communities on the map. In just 20 minutes you can contribute to the reconstruction of war-stricken areas, or help in the delivery of aid to victims of natural disasters! ♻️ Turning excess waste into green power Make your impact global, and help in the fight against climate change by volunteering with a nonprofit creating global power from waste, repurposing all types of non-recyclable waste to create green power. 🐐 Giving nomadic farmers a voice in the fashion industry Millions of herding families (50% of Mongolia's population) rely on cashmere as their main source of income; income threatened by climate change and pasture degradation. With remote volunteering, your team can help to lift up their voices and positively influence the sustainable fashion industry by creating articles centered on the herder's perspective. This is just a few of the 1000s of remote and in-person volunteering projects available to your team if you know where to find them 👀 ⭐️ If you're looking for a way to engage your team AND give back as a business, then why not book in a demo today - https://lnkd.in/eB5Mav_A #Volunteering | #SocialImpact | #TechForGood | #Charity | #CSR | #Culture | #EmployeeExperience

If you've ever been responsible for organising volunteering for your team, you know that it's a LOT harder than you'd expect... Choosing the right cause to support and please everyone in the team, finding a charity that has the capacity to host all of you, and then trying to align everyone's availability 😥 The struggle is real! We're so pleased to be providing the Project Merchandise | Certified B Corp ™ team with a MUCH easier solution 🙌🏼. Employees can browse 100s of volunteering projects tailored to their needs, and organise volunteering as a group, or solo. In-person, or remotely. Chris Dawson, Co-Founder at Project Merchandise said: "One of the hardest things we've found is actually finding places to volunteer. Thanks to Matchable, this has become a distant memory". #Volunteering | #SocialImpact | #TechForGood | #BCorp | #Charity | #GivingBack | #EmployeeEngagement

⭐️ How you can boost your salary through volunteering: Think volunteering = wasted time when you could be working? Think again! A new report* shows volunteering can boost your skills AND your earnings. It's a win-win, with volunteers seeing average salary increases of £2,300! 🚀 Around 20 per cent of volunteers in their thirties and forties have used volunteering to retrain or gain experience for a career-change. But for those who plan to stay in their roles, volunteering can clearly assist in climbing the career ladder, too. This doesn't mean every volunteer gig is a career booster. To maximise the benefit: 🎯 Be goal-oriented: What skills do you want to develop? Leadership? Tech savvy? Find volunteer roles that match. 🦉 Choose wisely: Some organisations offer better training and mentorship opportunities – that's where the true value lies. 🤩 Own your story: Update your resume, post on Linkedin, highlight these new skills in interviews, and discuss how this experience makes you a better candidate! Drop us a message if you're ready to take advantage of some of that volunteering magic for your team 🤗 *Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dFAyZDgW #volunteering #employeevolunteering #givingback #bcorp #charity #socialimpact #techforgood

Since starting Project Merchandise | Certified B Corp ™ we always wanted to ensure that all our team had the time to volunteer with their local communities to help make a difference in some small way. Thanks to GoodGym earlier this month, as part of The Great Big Green Week, I was delighted to join another volunteer in helping to clean up litter in a local park - small write up here: https://lnkd.in/dHuyEj75 No particularly strange items but we did fill a couple of bags. 🚮 One of the hardest things we've found in the last few years is actually finding places to volunteer, thanks to Matchable Volunteering this has become a distant memory. They have hundreds of different options across the entire UK making our ambition for all the team to complete 24 hours per year of volunteering a genuine reality! Thanks for making this so easy to organise Wai Foong N. - cant wait to get my next match sorted 👊. It always amazes me just how good this is for the soul as well as the Environment of course 😁
