Companies profiled on this page are showing a commitment to volunteering within their organisation. If you belong to a company which has a top-notch volunteering scheme, please contact us with the details. The BBC encourages staff at all levels to become proactively involved in their local communities. A special unit has been set up to provide a framework for formal employee volunteering. The BBC plans to build on its existing community involvement by supporting staff who are already volunteers in their own time, and by encouraging others to participate.
Employees choose where and how to volunteer and do so in their individual capacity.
The BBC's role should be to encourage and facilitate wherever possible. Engaging with local communities has always been central to the way the BBC operates. Without good community links the BBC could not produce authentic programmes with a local, regional, national and international focus. By volunteering, staff gain the satisfaction of putting something back into the local community, leading to greater motivation.
