Tuesday Tip: Volunteering vs. Timebanking #Volunteering is typically an unpaid role that fills an unmet, need of a nonprofit. The nonprofit defines the roles, the tasks, number of hours, duration of assignments, etc. #Timebanking is an opportunity for the individual to define the work they want to do, when they do it, how they do it, and how long they offer to do it. Moreover, they receive time currency equal to the number of hours worked, and that time currency can be used to purchase services and goods that meet their needs. If you're operating a nonprofit that needs #volunteers, consider timebanking your unpaid volunteers. It is the socially just thing to do. Also, your organization is more likely to attract a diversity of volunteers, one that reflects the population it serves--and that is socially meaningful. #timecurrency #winwinwin #respect #redefine #workforcedevelopment #volunteermanagement #volunteerwork #voluntarysector #voluntariado #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership #philanthropy

??Volunteering puts wind in your wings. ??And, there will be a charitable organisation receiving the benefits of your time and skills, who will benefit and be grateful. ?? Can your employees take time out of the workplace to volunteer? Is it embodied as a right in terms of employment and not deducted from their leave entitlement? What a great way to boost volunteering which has a huge impact on wellbeing and team building. Not only that it also demonstrates your ethical values to your employees and society. Our founder, Helen Tiffany, has close ties to Barnardo's where she volunteers to offer her support to children in the care system. Google encourages giving back by granting employees 20 hours per annum that they can use to volunteer. Tell us about the most rewarding volunteering you have been involved in. What did you get from it? What did the organisation get from you? #givingback #volunteering #wellnessatwork #motivationfactors #coachingforbusiness #thebodyshop #barnardos

Myth ? “Volunteering is a waste of my time” Facts ? One of the biggest misconceptions about volunteering is that it isn't beneficial for the volunteers. However, NCVO found quite the opposite to be true. 92% of people who had given time volunteering in 2023 were satisfied with their experience, and 75% of people said that it had helped with their mental health and well-being. These stats show just how valuable volunteering can be for you, let alone the charity or organisation you are helping! ?? It's Volunteers Week 2024, so be sure to share this post to raise awareness of the amazing benefits volunteering brings! #volunteersweek #mythbusting

Storytelling time. :) While working for Generali Employee Benefits - GEB in Prague (04/2014-01/2020), I brought a hamburger-shaped piggy bank to the office. I always tried, in every workplace, to make it more humane - to make it feel a bit like it's mine. I wasn't used to carrying coins - in my home country, their value is low, so people tend to use banknotes when paying cash. So I always put my Czech coins in that piggybank and encouraged my colleagues to do so as well. Well, like I always say, all good things come to an end... so better things can follow. I loved that job in Generali - I loved the crazy-diverse people I worked with, all the things I learned in my ten years and three countries with the company, and I loved all the traveling I got to do in the many countries I supported in our region and around the world. When the time came for me to leave - I quit Corporate to travel the world and run my own EntrepreneurShip activity - I had this heavy piggybank full of coins. I knew I wanted to do something impactful with that cash. I always felt, deep within my gut, mind, and heart, that humanity cannot progress if, at an individual level, we only look after ourselves. The world is bleeding when we don't care about others, too. But I didn't know what to do. So I did what I do when I lose my compass: I looked within. Poverty is one of my greatest fears. Growing up in a post-communist country in the 90s, I have seen poverty high and low. I have seen inequality, corruption, and addiction at school, in traffic, and so on. My Mum worked for many years in an orphanage, and I often volunteered with an NGO there since I was 14 years old, so I saw firsthand what poverty does to a family and what it means not to have the means to support oneself. I felt the impact of a society that allows its people to fall through the cracks. But back to 2019. After searching within, I did the next best thing: I started searching online for a cause to support. I came across what was then a Czechs and expats Facebook group supporting a group of homeless people in Prague by giving hot meals outside the main train station every Saturday afternoon and occasionally donating clothes. If you ever thought that it takes many to have an impact, yes, you are right. But it takes just a handful of people to have the initiative and a few more to believe in them - good deeds, no matter how small, stack up. :) In 2019, I took my 300 EUR worth of coins to the bank and turned them into an idea that evolved into a campaign to buy 83 sleeping bags for our homeless friends. That Facebook group became an NGO called FriendShip Prague - it has a board, a regular volunteer group, processes in place, strategic collaborations, and so on. ??????
