In this publication, all parties consider the role that government and business can play in pushing forward employee volunteering. The proposals put forward include: a less interventionist government approach, to allow the business and voluntary sectors to reach their own solutions; government investment in the support infrastructure and information provision surrounding volunteering; raising the status of volunteering through advertising, awards and certificates; and a call for greater flexibility in work to make it easier to combine paid employment with voluntary work.
