Supplier organisations are organisations that wish to allow their staff to support volunteer organisations with their time and services. Some organisations offer their staff paid leave or other benefits if they support volunteer organisations as part of the corporate social responsibility or community support program. HelpingHero makes it easy for these organisations to track an manage the time and effort that their staff are investing in supporting volunteer organisations.

How it works
Companies can approve any number of volunteer organisations as accredited for staff to gain credit.
In the example below, Company X has approved Volunteer Org A and Volunteer Org B as organisations that the employees can gain credit for their volunteer work. Volunteer Org C is not approved. Staff can join Volunteer Org A, B or C but will only receive company credit for A and B.
The volunteer organisations then manage the events and tasks that members (i.e. staff) perform.
