How to Increase Your Employee Volunteer Rates Through Word of Mouth

Having a conversation, chatting about my experience, and seeing someone take the leap to volunteer… I love it so much that I’ve made my career out of it! Here at VolunteerMatch, I help lead the effort on growing the base of our volunteer, nonprofit, and corporate ‘members.’

For some, however, this is a terrifying idea. That’s why I wanted to share some ways to enhance your word-of-mouth recruitment efforts to increase employee participation in your volunteer program!

Here are 3 reasons (and ways) to enhance your organic word-of-mouth efforts.

Why Your Office Should Be More Like The Office

The Office, NBC’s hit comedy that aired from 2005 to 2013, led to millions of viewers laughing on a week to week basis. It was one of my favorite shows and even all these years later, it still makes me laugh…and rings true of what goes on in most office environments, albeit a little exaggerated. The show documents the life of a rather dysfunctional office and their daily antics. While as a whole, the extreme personalities of The Office, lead to an incongruous environment, there are traits from each of the characters that can be quite beneficial when applied in the workplace.
