sional staffing company Hudson, shows that ‘less than half of com-
panies have a formal corporate [social] responsibility program”:

241–242 “‘The benefit that volunteering provides has traditionally been
thought of as the good works given by the individual to the non-
profit organization and the community. While this is and should re-
main the main reason for volunteering, there is another reward that
is created—namely, that return value that the individual receives
from the process. Return value has not been discussed a great deal
but most individuals who volunteer understand that they receive
value in return for their volunteering, including the “great feeling”
that is received from helping others’”: Walter P. Pidgeon, The Uni-
versal Benefits of Volunteering: A Practical Workbook for Nonprofit Or-
ganizations, Volunteers, and Corporations (Wiley, Hoboken, N.J.,
1998).
