What it is

Activities is where you see every upcoming volunteering activity your CSR team has published. Each card shows the date, time, place, the hours you will be credited and how many places are left.

You join with one tap. If the activity is full, you join the waitlist instead, and CorpHands moves you up automatically when someone cancels. You never have to chase a spreadsheet or a WhatsApp group to find out whether you are in.

What you can use it for

• Find something to do this week or this month, filtered by cause
• Join a company campaign, such as a Daan Utsav drive, from its own filter
• Look for skills-based (pro bono) activities that use your professional skills
• Check which NGO organises an activity and whether its registration is verified
• Hold a place on a full activity through the waitlist
• Release your place if your plans change, so a colleague can take it

How to do it

1. Open ActivitiesIn the employee app, tap Activities. You see published activities that have not ended yet, soonest first.

4. JoinTap Join activity. You see a confirmation, and an email with the details and a calendar invite is sent to you.

Join the waitlist or cancel your place

1. Join the waitlistIf the activity is full, the button reads Join the waitlist. You get an email saying you are on the waitlist.
2. Get moved upWhen a registered person cancels, the first person on the waitlist is registered automatically and receives an email with the calendar invite.
3. CancelOn the activity page, tap Cancel my place, then Yes, cancel my place. You cannot cancel after you have checked in.

Tips and good practice

• Use the Joined filter to see everything you have signed up for in one place.
• Cancel as early as you can. Your place goes straight to the next person on the waitlist.
• If an activity is cancelled by the CSR team, everyone registered or on the waitlist is told by email.
• Have an idea that is not on the list? Use the Suggest a cause box at the bottom of Activities.
