Today's organizations have flatter organizational ladders. Managers are charged with more responsibility. They must be versatile, have good communication skills, and good leadership skills. Lateral promotions, project management, and volunteer work are ways to gain experience to be a successful manager. Volunteer work should be included in one's career plan. The time committed to volunteer work should not detract from one's personal life or paid work. Seeking meaningful volunteer work is important so that one remains committed to the extra effort. People volunteer for a variety of reasons. New careers can be investigated without jeopardizing the financial security of one's present position. Usually the volunteer gets a feeling of satisfaction from doing something worthwhile in return for their efforts. Corporate volunteer programs have survived prosperous times and difficult economic times. Volunteer programs improve a company's image, improve community relations, build teamwork, and increase worker productivity. Some studies have shown that people who volunteer are happier, have higher self-esteem, are more successful, and live longer. Volunteer work can also make the transition to a new community smoother. I started a volunteer clearinghouse at my place of employment, Bemis Manufacturing Company, Sheboygan Falls, WI. The steps used to start the clearinghouse are detailed. Articles published in the company newsletter featuring local volunteer needs are included in the appendix. A survey was conducted on people's views of volunteerism. Respondents were asked to rate findings in the literature regarding the benefits of volunteerism. Some people’s comments on their views of how volunteerism has affected their careers are listed. Most people felt that volunteer work helped improve skills that would be useful in management and would encourage others to volunteer.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .H85 1999 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
