Volunteering ACT Surveys
“Who Really Cares?”
Corporate Volunteering Survey Of Employees
Companies are getting more and more involved in corporate social responsibility. Very little is known about corporate volunteering, so Volunteering Australia together with Volunteering ACT conducted research.
The survey aimed to gain insight into the awareness of, and attitudes towards, corporate volunteering programs and to gain understanding of employee involvement in volunteering outside of any corporate volunteering programs.
VACT believes that the resulting data is a valuable indication of what is possible if the culture of Corporate Volunteering could be encouraged and supported in the ACT and its region.
The Agenda for Volunteering for the ACT 2003-2007
On December 5th 2002, International Volunteer Day, “The Agenda for Volunteering for the ACT 2003-2007” was produced as a strategic framework on volunteering in the ACT.
An Implementation Taskforce was formed to progress the Agenda’s objectives and strategies.
As an initial step the Implementation Taskforce carried out a survey seeking information from organisations to assist in deciding on work priorities.
