Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the organization’s policy on community service. Examples of policy details to footnote may include provisions for time spent volunteering during traditional work hours, whether for company-organized events (e.g., organization-wide service days) or employee-initiated activities (e.g., service sabbaticals or leaves of absence to complete charitable services). Community service policies may also include a provision for serving on an organization's board or governing body.
