Corporate volunteering use to be somewhat of a simple practice. CSR leaders or team members would find a great nonprofit, schedule a time for employees to give back, show up on-site for the activity, and report the results. Today, volunteering has multiple new formats, requires more advanced tools and technology, and continues to evolve every month as the working world becomes more virtual and dynamic.
