The £32.5 Billion Question: Closing the workforce productivity gap 

A webinar for Senior Leaders, Executives, and board members

Margins are tight, costs are rising, and economic uncertainty is forcing companies to do more with less. Keeping skilled employees engaged is critical but traditional productivity strategies are often exhausted.

One of the largest untapped resources may already be hiding in plain sight in many organisations: Employee Volunteering.

Often dismissed as a “feel-good” perk, new data shows a huge, missed opportunity.

If UK companies fully utilised paid volunteering hours, the economy could gain £32.5 billion annually—£5,239 per employee in unrealised productivity. Last year, 140 million volunteering hours went unused, representing lost potential for skills development, team cohesion, retention, and measurable ESG outcomes. Why? Because many programmes aren’t aligned with strategic goals, lack leadership visibility, and fail to deliver clear ROI.

• How to identify and unlock hidden productivity
