Breakthrough Research on Pro Bono Business Case
On Monday, Deloitte released their
study on the potential of Pro Bono as a corporate professional development
tool. The phone survey was of Fortune 500 HR managers and was conducted by a third
party using a robust sample. The results are really impressive and should help
us convince companies of the value of pro bono.
The headlines:
- 91% of Fortune 500 HR managers agree that skills-based volunteering would add value to training and development programs, particularly as it relates to fostering business and leadership skills.
- Nearly 70% of their training and
development budgets are projected to remain flat or go down in the next year AND
all but 2% see pro bono as a lower cost solution.
