“Companies could support corporate volunteering initiatives and encourage their people to volunteer their time, skills, expertise and passion. Corporate investment in volunteers can be cost effective and efficient. Volunteers strengthen development solutions and have the capacity and knowledge to link know-how with community needs.” Ad Melkert, UN Under-Secretary General, ‘How philanthropy can contribute to the MDGs’, 2008
Foreword This Roadmap intends to provide a basic start-up tool kit for those companies in Trinidad and Tobago that are interested in developing an employee volunteer programme. Over the past few years, many businesses have indicated their willingness to invest into the creation of an internal volunteer programme that would enable them to go beyond the traditional CSR approach of charitable giving and to become actively involved in the social and environmental development of the communities in which they operate. At the same time managers have highlighted the fact that information about the necessary ‘ingredients’ for such a programme compiled and presented in a practical format remained sketchy. This guide is meant to fill this gap. Written for community relations, corporate communications and human resource managers, it is supposed to be a conceptual framework for programme development outlining six generic elements in the process of strategically aligning volunteerism with business objectives. As such, it is a direct contribution towards the creation of inclusive business models that include poor people into value chains as producers, employees and consumers and towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
