Local corporate community involvement: How to make it work for you and your employees

Delegates heard from Yell's Corporate Responsibility Manager about how to keep directors happy and involved, champions charged, volunteers motivated, and charities engaged. The different types of leadership strategies that are used to create the energy in your organisation to keep your vision and objectives on track.

We showcased a programme to lower absenteeism and keep your workforce healthy; Easy ways to assist disadvantaged job seekers without leaving the office; The need for skilled volunteers and how this can be used to complement learning and development plans. An update on exciting Connect Reading projects and easy ways for businesses and their employees to help the local community.

We are very grateful to the Holiday Inn Reading South that sponsored the forum held on Friday 23 July 2010.
