In partnership with Merton Connected, a charitable organization in the London Borough of Merton, our project evaluated the existing employee volunteering schemes in Merton and recommended ways for Merton Connected to enhance and encourage more participation in these programs among employees and employers. Through stakeholder interviews and employee surveys, we discovered various barriers for employees to volunteer, such as time constraints and lack of awareness of employee volunteering activities. We recommend introducing flexibility to the volunteering schemes, increasing advertising efforts, and improving volunteer matching technology. Addressing these issues can increase employee volunteering participation in Merton, benefiting local organizations, employers, and employees.
