More and more companies are seeking meaningful ways to give back to society. Beyond financial donations and traditional volunteering initiatives, a specific form of volunteering is gaining traction: Skills-Based Employee Volunteering (SBEV). This approach allows employees to leverage their professional knowledge and skills to support non-profit organizations.

In this #ZigZagHR podcast with Lesley Arens, Jill Sniekers (Senior Project Consultant at TriHD) and Saskia Crucke (Professor, UGent, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration) explore the benefits and impact of SBEV. They discuss how companies can strategically integrate it into their HR policies, DEI approach, and L&D programs. The episode also covers insights from research, real-world examples, and practical tips for successful implementation.

Curious about how SBEV can create value for non-profits, employees, and organizations alike?
