    Volunteerism:

    Volunteerism is the concept of donating time and energy to help other people in
    the community as a social responsibility rather than to gain any financial reward.
    In corporate context, volunteerism is basically the tools, methods and ways used
    by employers to support the employees who want to do volunteer work for any
    social cause. Many organizations provide paid leaves and free time for
    volunteering work. Some companies also use their own resources to engage the
    entire company to volunteer for a social cause. An example of this can be a media
    house making free documentaries or advertisements for fundraising campaigns of
    a charity organization.
    The following 2 companies appreciate employees who work voluntarily for any
    social cause:

    NOVO NORDISK.

    This company belongs to the healthcare industry. Novo Nordisk gives 80 paid
    hours off for volunteering work. This company follows a “Triple Bottom Line
    Business Model”. Apart from the paid free hours, they also have Novo Nordisk
    Social Awareness Team which helps organizing community service projects.

    “Changing our Communities” is a portal launched in 2014 to track and help


    employees find volunteer opportunities. The company also makes a monetary
    donation in the individual’s or team’s name to partner charity organizations for
    every project submitted.

    SALESFORCE.

    This company belongs to technology industry. Salesforce gives 48 paid hours free
    for volunteering work. This company works on 1-1-1 philanthropy model.
    Its concept is “giving 1% of employee time, technology and resources to help
    improve communities around the world”.

    What the company is saying: Long heralded as a leader in supporting


    employees volunteer efforts with its groundbreaking 1-1-1 philanthropy
    model. The way it works is companies pledge “leveraging 1% of employee
    time, technology and resources to help improve communities around the
    world,” according to the company.

    Suzanne DiBianca, the president of the Salesforce Foundation,


    told Fortune that the program’s efforts have translated into over a million
    volunteer hours, $80 million in grants and Salesforce products donated to
    25,000 programs.

    The foundation started when the company was, she said. Now, “we’re getting
    calls crazy off the hook,” she explained, from other businesses looking to
    implement Salesforce’s program.

    Salesforce employees enjoy six paid days off. There’s also an app that the
    company uses to track its employees’ volunteer efforts.
