 | | | Citizenship and Volunteering
| | Sponsored by Zurich
Our public services and a healthy civil society depend on the willingness of people to give freely of their time and skills. And with people's lives becoming ever more pressured, such willingness is at a premium. This award seeks to recognise schemes that promote good citizenship by employees, whether by volunteering, serving as councillors, school governors or magistrates, or perhaps by helping and representing disadvantaged groups.
The award is open to employers operating in the private sector as well as those engaged in the public services. Entrants must be able to give evidence of a clear policy that has been taken up by a number of staff.
| | | Judging criteria:
Has the scheme provided staff with the opportunity to work in their local communities and supported their attempts to do so?Has this scheme been taken up by employees and been promoted to ensure maximum exposure?What impact has the scheme had on both the local community and the employer?
