Employee Volunteer Research

Dear CSR members, I would like to share with you what we are preparing for our Employee Volunteering research with (ATF) Arab Thought Foundation.
Objectives of the Research
There is growing interest in the Arab World in both volunteering and corporate social responsibility (CSR), though there seems to be, so far, much less interest in the point of overlap between the two, corporate volunteering. The research proposed here seeks to explore the state of corporate volunteering in the region, and study the specific experiences of companies and their community partners to see how their experiences can help us develop effective resources and mechanisms to promote corporate volunteering in the region.

Any member interested in Employee Volunteering or related task can contact me to share ideas and benefit both sides.

this is an important aspect, related to connecting the employees voluntarism with CSR at the company, we at Paltel Group (a Palestinian telecommunication company Jawwal, PalTel, Hadara) established a corporate foundation that implement CSR using developmental and sustainable aspects in education, technology and wellbeing programs, we have around 100 volunteers from the employees who participate in helping the foundation in implementing some programs, however, the number is still low and we are attempting at increasing it, also we are currently working in developing a voluntarism policy which could allow the employee to dedicate part of his/her worming hours for a voluntarism activities for our foundation or any other institution but in Cooridnation with PalTel Group foundation.

It will be great if you can share with us the results of your research
Regards
