Rise of the Employee Volunteer: How doing good improves health, happiness, and productivity
Who says volunteering for your own good is wrong? Make no mistake: The number one reason employees all over the world are volunteering more often than ever before is because they want to make a real difference, and now, thanks to tech platforms that offer diverse yet relevant opportunities to do so, they finally can. That said, there is a growing body of research that shows volunteering in your community can positively impact your health (mental, physical, and social), engagement at work, and likelihood of sticking around longer. So if the idea of a dopamine hit is what helps employees press “sign up,” that’s alright, so long as they give that volunteer event their all.
