‘Netflix of volunteering’ eases burden of corporate charity work

Financial Times

In the US almost half of employers offer or plan to offer volunteer leave, allowing employees to spend a few days annually working for a good cause on company time, according to the consultants WTW. In the UK 70 per cent do. Yet only around 15 per cent of workers are thought to use their volunteering leave, according to William Fleming, research fellow at the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre.
