Quotes from just two of the many business people from Corporate Member companies of BIA:NW who have taken part in our programmes and encouraged their staff to do the same.
If you are looking for a cost-effective way to develop and retain your managers and keep them motivated, BIA:NW could be the answer. Through our management volunteering programmes, business managers and professionals can get out of their comfort zone, meet creative people and learn more about organisations whose work may be of special interest to them. At the same time, volunteers can sharpen interpersonal and leadership skills, as well as change management, influencing and coaching skills, to mention but a few.
Involvement in programmes like ours creates ambassadors for your company, helps to fulfil your corporate responsibility aims and promotes your image as a caring company with community focus. All of this can lead to new business.
We can take up to eight managers on to the programmes for a modest membership fee of and we are always happy for one or two managers to ‘test drive’ the programmes before a decision is made. Many managing directors, chief executives and senior partners like to get involved themselves so that they can recommend BIA:NW to their people based on their own experience.
Have a look at our newsletters to read about just a few of the hundreds of successful partnerships that we have facilitated between business people and the cultural sector through our tried and tested volunteering programmes. The profiles demonstrate the benefits to both sides of taking part in these programmes.
