Skills-Based Volunteerism: A Powerful Talent and Leadership Development Tool
Evan Hochberg
"As leading companies become adept at leveraging their community investments to drive key business goals, corporate community involvement programs will be positioned to deliver more business value and social impact." - Evan Hochberg
Welcome to a Career Connections edition of Total Picture Radio with Peter Clayton reporting. A recent IMPACT survey conducted by Deloitte reports that skills-based volunteerism can be a powerful and cost-effective professional development tool, yet very few companies are leveraging volunteer programs for this purpose. Joining us today is Evan Hochberg, National Director of Community Involvement for Deloitte Services LP where he oversees Deloitte’s national community involvement initiative, providing strategic direction for philanthropy, volunteerism, pro-bono and workplace giving. In this role, Evan has spearheaded a complete refocusing of Deloitte’s community involvement approach which is centered on the contribution of the organization’s intellectual capital to help strengthen the capacity of the nonprofit sector.
As the latest step in this long term process, Deloitte recently announced a three-year, $50 million commitment to the delivery of pro bono service to nonprofit organizations. Additionally, Evan developed Deloitte's Problem Solvers Fund, a national grant-making program that aligns the organization's philanthropic giving with skills-based volunteering.
