Corporate volunteering is increasingly popular as companies aim to combat loneliness and promote connection. Platforms like Goodera have seen participation soar, with nearly doubling volunteers from 2023 to 2024. The demand for community engagement reflects a societal desire for shared purpose; a survey indicated 74% of Americans want collaborative efforts to enhance local communities. As more companies embrace this trend, it signifies a shift toward workplaces fostering social responsibility and strengthening employee bonds through meaningful volunteer opportunities.
Corporate volunteering is a growing trend wherein businesses provide structured opportunities for employees to engage in community service, fostering connection and purpose.
Abhishek Humbad, CEO of Goodera, noted that in 2023, 183,745 employees participated in community volunteer events, demonstrating a significant increase in corporate volunteering.
The rise in corporate volunteering is partly due to a societal hunger for connection, with 74% of Americans desiring to collaborate on community improvement initiatives.
Humbad attributes the surge in volunteering to a need for purpose amid rising feelings of disillusionment and apathy among individuals in modern society.
