CONSULTANCY AND ADVICE
Through our extensive experience of working with both business and the voluntary sector, with a focus on corporate responsibility, community engagement and social investment, we are well placed to help companies develop and implement approaches to involving their people in communities, charities and social projects linked to, and beyond, their core business.
Community engagement is rapidly evolving from an 'add on' that is often based on simple employee volunteering, to a more sophisticated mainstream business activity linked to core business issues. Social investment and sustainable relationships are at the heart of this evolution.
Depending upon where a company is on its own journey to this new way of thinking, we can help with issues such as:
- Helping to devise an employee volunteering strategy for the 21st Century
- Advising on how a community engagement strategy can evolve from what used to be seen as innovative to what will be seen as innovative in the future
- Identifying community and social issues that resonate with your core business
- Linking community engagement with people development
- Identifying charity partners and creating sustainable relationships
The many business opportunities arising from a well thought out approach to community engagement and social investment include developing people through new experiences and challenges, a better understanding of customers from deprived or excluded groups, exposure to the values-based approach of voluntary sector organisations and enhanced reputation as a responsible and creative business.
Recent clients of our consultancy and advice service include Bovis Lend Lease and Home Retail Group.
Our consultancy and advice service is strengthened by our partnership with Acona (www.acona.com/cr), the leading UK corporate responsibility consultancy.
