The idea of volunteering and ‘giving something back’ has started to plant its seed within businesses small and large. This creates a win-win opportunity for both the communities you will be helping and also your company.

Ethical trading and corporate responsibility is at the forefront of many campaigns at the moment and consumer demand for fair-trade and ethical business values is steadily increasing. Volunteering on a worthwhile project in a developing country is fantastic for raising the Corporate Social Responsibility status of your company and is not only a good PR opportunity but a great team building experience for your employees as well.

The wellbeing of your employees and their relationships with each other is a fundamental factor of your companies success. A volunteer project abroad is a fantastic team building opportunity for your team as it will boost team moral and allow office employees to really get to know each other which (in most cases!) will serve to strengthen their working relationship with each other when they return. Returning energized and with a sense of doing something positive for a developing community is more than likely to boost productivity and a real sense of job satisfaction in general.

Corporate volunteer groups can be invaluable to the local communities they visit as the knowledge they can impart on their area of expertise can really make a difference. And in tough times of tight budgets, supporting staff to fundraise for participation in a company-backed project can make Corporate volunteering a surprisingly low-cost option to bring your team together.

Most of the projects on our website are able to cater for corporate groups. For most groups, however, we do tend to create tailor-made itineraries which can accommodate for your groups individual needs. We understand that arranging a group volunteer placement for your company is something that takes a lot of organization and forward planning to ensure that every eventuality is covered and that all needs of the group are taken care with. We work closely with all our groups and take the time to ensure that all arrangements are satisfactory to the group’s needs and objectives. What’s more to keep the costs down every tenth member of the group goes for free!
