We would argue strongly that the need is even greater in this climate. It's all about holding onto the best people, and offering these kinds of activities are a very cost-effective way of doing this...

Hi Will! Skills Venture sounds like a very interesting initiative. I am a CSR consultant and would love to be part of this programme.
