Fresh idea from VSO

If you’re an HR professional planning a sabbatical placement for an executive on your team – or even for yourself - a new initiative from Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), could be just what you’re looking for. VSO hopes to attract managers, fundraisers, finance and HR Directors, small business advisors, IT professionals and more to urgently fill a range of short- and long- term volunteering opportunities. Says VSO marketing adviser Rowena Harding, “Research from the Chartered Management Institute has shown that 94% of employers agree that long-term overseas voluntary activity broadens skills and experiences.”
