Purpose: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is considered to be one of the most important dimensions of organisational identity, and Human Resource Management (HRM) has a major role to play in the implementation of the same. Employee Volunteering Programs (EVPs) are considered to be one of the most effective ways of demonstrating organisational social responsibility, at the same time enhancing organisational capacity. The main purpose of the current paper is to investigate the role and importance of HRM in the implementation of EVPs.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey was conducted among 300 HR practitioners of 50 organisations in the Tamil Nadu region of India, using structured questionnaires to collect data, and statistical tests and regression analysis to check the relationship between HR-driven EVPs and their outcomes.
