Charity Village� Research: Can Corporate Good be Better?: For the uninitiated, employer supported volunteer programs look very different depending on how you look at them. They can be as simple as employers allowing their staff to use their work email or the phone (during break times) to conduct volunteer activities. It could also be as involved as organizing a group (sometimes a large group) of employees to go out into the community to volunteer. I'm going to talk about the latter end of the spectrum.
What often happens in these programs is that someone in the corporation organizes a group of staff to do manual labour. At least, that's the common perception. The business will sometimes buy the supplies — paint, lumber, nails, etc. — and get to work fixing a fence or building a playground. I'm over-generalizing to make three points.
