How to plan an Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) Programme for charities wanting to take on ESV opportunities (110624) 

Please note that this course will take place online via Zoom.

This course is particularly aimed at charities, community groups and social enterprises who are at the early stages of their ESV journey or want to improve what they do.

Employers have recognised for some time that supporting their own staff to get involved in the community is good for business, good for employees and good for the community. This training course will help you explore how to run an effective ESV programme to maximise this potential and nurture opportunities for mutual benefit.

By the end of the session you will be able to:
✔ Identify different types of ESV opportunities
✔ Understand the motivations for ESV
✔ Hear about the experiences of ESV from employer, employee and VCSE perspective
✔ List the benefits of ESV
✔ Clarify the challenges and parameters
✔ Understand the organisational considerations
✔ Identify the outcomes and Learning
✔ Recognise the importance of good record keeping
