Volunteering as Employee Development: A PwC Case Study
/I've written another guest post for the official ASTD blog, this time describing a specific example of how volunteering can be a great way to develop employees outside the classroom. I excerpted one of the several case studies featured in my book, Employee Development on a Shoestring, which was just launched by ASTD Press!
This case features the personal volunteer experience stories of two of the three PricewaterhouseCoopers employees I interviewed and wrote about in my book - it describes the ways in which they developed multiple competencies by volunteering to teach and build playgrounds in poor schools in Belize.
I've written about the value of volunteering as an employee development approach previously here, here, and here.
What has been your experience with learning by volunteering? I would love to hear your thoughts!
