Proactive Pulse

Welcome to the June newsletter from CG Pro-Active HR, an issue celebrating volunteering and community spirit. This is something we have seen across the UK through this Covid19 pandemic and, personally, I really hope it continues.

So, what does your organisation offer for employees? Do you know who in your workforce also volunteers outside of their role with you? Do you engage with your local community? Do you celebrate volunteering in your organisation?

More ideas in this month’s newsletter below.

VOLUNTEERS’ WEEK 2020

Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the contribution millions of people make across the UK through volunteering. Although the coronavirus pandemic has stopped many of the things that would usually happen as part of Volunteers’ Week, there are still ways to get involved in the celebration.
