Report on the Development of Voluntary Service for Chinese Enterprises (2018) (refer to the report)
The report is jointly compiled by Beijing Horizon Corporate Volunteer Center, together with China Federation of Volunteer Services and Southern Weekly CSR Research Center. It aims to promote the concern and recognition of corporate volunteer service from all walks of life. It is the fifth edition of this report. The report summarizes the current development situation of Chinese enterprise voluntary service, analyzes the future trend and direction, also provides suggestions on promoting the sustainable development of Chinese enterprise voluntary service.
- According to the report, 98.67% of the staff volunteers expressed their willingness to participate in volunteer activities "on the premise of time and conditions ", which means their willingness to participate is very strong.
- According to the report, most enterprise volunteers do not understand the Volunteer Service Ordinance, which directly affects the outcome of enterprise volunteer service.
- According to the report, inappropriate "time and place" is the biggest problem for enterprises to carry out voluntary services, and employees expect to receive paid vacation and self-improvement professional training most.

At this salon, Dr. Wang will speak on:
