Corporate Volunteering

I'm pretty sure that most companies only encourage volunteer time because it improves their corporate image. But you know something? I'm ok with that. I see it as a win-win-win.

The company wins. I don't really care about them, but it gives them a motivation to act.

The charitable group/good cause wins. I think this is probably the most important. The amount of good in the world goes up.

The staff (probably) win. I won. I got to volunteer today with some other people from my company. I think volunteering is great, and I got paid to do so. I think most of the time it comes out of personal time (which isn't as good) but this time it was paid for.
