Background
Employers can strengthen the communities in which they operate by allowing their employees to have paid time off to help mentor young people in the community. It is difficult to find people who have the time and the means to show up and help the youth. One way to find more mentors is having employers allow the employees to use a certain amount of their paid time to participate in a mentoring program. The employer will benefit from having employees who appreciate working for a company that enables them to serve others. This could lead to higher employee retention which is valuable to employers. The employer will also benefit from an improved reputation in the community as an organization engaged in improving the community in which they operate.
