Community Business recently announced Hong Kong’s second Employee Volunteer (EV) Week from 24 to 30 May 2010. The purpose of EV Week is to encourage more companies in Hong Kong to embrace employee volunteering and to recognise the benefits for both the community and for business. Shaun Bernier, Managing Director of Community Business pointed out, “Initiatives such as employee volunteering—with its opportunities for employee engagement, team-building, personal development and skills training, not to mention positive reputation and standing in the community—should not fall off of the corporate agenda.” Bernier advised companies to be more innovative and creative in their approach, looking for ways to collaborate and pool resources to maximise impact.
