An employee engagement program comes in several forms. Some companies give time off to their employees during the workweek to volunteer (VPTO) while others host company-wide volunteer days. Other companies offer matching gifts or dollars-for-doers programs and some very progressive companies participate in volunteer assignments. A company needs to decide which employee engagement efforts best fit their company culture. What I can offer are some best practices for each, starting with Volunteer Paid Time Off (VPTO).
