Employee Volunteering

Bringing benefits to business & developing communities

Do you have a Corporate Social Responsibility, charity fundraising or staff training objective to meet? Would you like to combine meeting business goals with bringing benefits to developing communities?

Then one of Different Travel's challenge events could be just what you are looking for (go here for more details and some examples).

Our challenges enable companies to fulfil Corporate Social Responsibility, charity fundraising, staff training and development programmes, or motivate, reward and train employees in a way which ensures positive outcomes for the employer and employee alike - through interaction with, and support for, locally-run community development projects.

Every challenge event is designed to meet the specific needs of the client group - whether it's staff training, networking with colleagues, staff motivation, team building or a Corporate Social Responsibility programme. Each event can build in components based on your corporate objectives, and each event ensures engagement with local communities and raises your corporate profile.

Social responsibility at home and abroad

A challenge can work in a number of ways. Some are events where your staff achieve a specific goal for an overseas community, focusing on key corporate principles such as leadership and teamwork. Others are a chance to network with colleagues or partners from other organisations. A Different Challenge event can even be used to raise funds for charities at home or overseas.

All our events can be structured to work alongside your company's existing charity, one of our wide-ranging network of over 50 local projects worldwide, or a specifically identified project directly relevant to your company or sector.

Making Business fun!

Different Travel also runs a number of unique events aimed at companies seeking a more "fun-centric" approach to business, and a more "social" approach to social responsibility. For example, the Winter Sports Challenge (the usual array of Winter Sports, plus dog sledding, toboganning and "commando snowballing"), the Summer Sports Challenge (including rock climbing, abseiling, kayaking and white water rafting) and the very popular Slovenian Golf Challenge - playing all four 18-hole courses in one of Europe's most beautiful countries. All ideal ways to network with colleagues or raise money for your chosen charity.

See our Challenges for examples of the type of challenges we can run.
