1. THE BEST
VOLUNTEER BASED
COMPANIES
BY: DES HAGUE

2. As companies are beginning to understand that
employees are increasingly striving to engage in
charitable work or social good in the workplace,
a large number of international brands,
organizations and global entities have made
efforts to meet their employees’ needs.

3. It is no surprise that
companies across the
board are changing their
benefits strategy in order
to offer their employees
with incentives to get
involved in their local
communities, while also
boosting the positive
reputation for the
companies they have
affiliations with.

4. Fortune’s list includes a spectrum of
companies including, but not limited
to, Google, Wegman’s Food Markets
and Quicken Loans within the top ten
companies that offer their employees
the most ideal benefits, etc. In
addition, Fortune also underlines the
importance of volunteer based PTO
days as it has shown to reduce
employee turnover due to this newly
designed channel in the company
culture. The below list points out key
global companies that offer their
employees volunteer, PTO days
throughout the year.

5. NuStar Energy
The San Antonio based company offers its
employees around sixty hours a year of paid time
to volunteer as a means for the brand to become
more interconnected with the charitable causes in
their surrounding areas. Haven of Hope, a
charitable golf tournament that happens every year
allows NuStar Energy employees to lead every step
in planning the philanthropic event from start to
finish.

6. Planning tasks such as decorating, getting
sponsorships and essentially organizing the
charitable golf tournament in every form. The event
has continued to exhibit great success, with the
charitable golf tournament raising over twenty seven
million dollars to help homeless populations in the
area within the last eight years.

8. Salesforce
Salesforce has strived for many years to not only make its mark as
an original, fundamental company to carve out volunteer, PTO days
for its employees, but this brand has additionally sought out a
creative response if seven days are not used. For the employees
that happen to not take those seven PTO days each year, the
company continues to engage in charitable work by offering the
individual a thousand dollar grant to give away to a charitable
cause of their choice.
To support the Salesforce VP in his fight against Leukemia,
employees have participated in what is called a “Light the Night
Walk,” which aims to raise financial resources for Leukemia
patients.

9. Novo Nordisk
The most philanthropic
company that without a
doubt tops the list, is the
Danish pharmaceutical
company called Novo
Nordisk, which provides its
employees with nearly
three days more than the
average philanthropic
geared company.

10. This company offers nearly ten days of
paid time off to volunteer to its
employees, which consists of around
eighty hours. Framing itself as a
community-based, charitable company
with a strong mission to aid communities
all over the world, Novo Nordisk offers
employees a myriad of programs and
resources to incentivize giving back.
