In a guest column on Fortune online, Deloitte CEO Barry Salzberg discusses that employee volunteerism, particularly volunteer opportunities that capitalize on the skills possessed by a company's workforce (e.g., IT, Marketing, Personell Management), can bring value to non-profit organizaitons, communities, companies, and the employees involved in the volunteer programs. While an internal Deloitte survey* found that 91% of respondents felt skills-based volunteering would promote training and development, only 16% of companies offer skills-based EVPs. This is an area that companies should investigate to integrate into their CSR initiatives.
* Details of the survey are not available in the column; not sure if it was sent to Deloitte employees or other companies
