Do they have an allowance of time off to go to team meetings?
Do they offer incentives to those who volunteer?
Are you assigned to the task as part of your job? If they do, how does that work? Do you get time off? Extra pay?
Does your company help you with travel expenses for regionals or the championship?
Do they off other incentives like a volunteer lunch or dinner or some kind of appreciation celebration?
It will help me to benchmark other companies and I thought it would be valuable to document some of the various ways companies support their volunteers.
If there is a similar thread already, please point me to it, I tried to search but didn't come up with anything.
Right now, my company doesn't do anything, but they are talking about it, which is appreciated.
Any experiences shared would be very helpful.
Thank you,
