Beyond volunteering and sharing talents for the betterment of the world, Tata Engage introduces an exclusive avenue for employee participation. Engage+ initiative is a unique opportunity for employees who have been with the Tata Group for five years. This volunteering opportunity enables the employees to take a full-time paid sabbatical and work for a non-profit.
 
Talks and planning can help determine the right path to herald change. But to effect change, we need to roll up our sleeves and get into action mode.
Who Can Volunteer?
Tata Employees    |    Their Family Members     |    Retired Tata Employees
Any of the above can volunteer for ProEngage projects. However, ProEngage projects require skill based volunteering and while applying, volunteers must ensure that they possess the requisite skills as per the project details. Selected volunteers will be provided the necessary guidance and sensitization training, as required. During the project execution the volunteering progress will be tracked. After project completion, the volunteering experience will be rated and a certificate will be awarded.

How We Go About It?
A number of non-profits have the access and methodologies to carry out their noble deeds, but often fall short when it comes to professional expertise. Being a major industrial group, the Tata Group houses numerous pockets of excellence and expertise, from across disciplines and areas of interest. Through ProEngage, individuals and teams are exposed to available projects all year round. ProEngage is a skill based volunteering program that enables volunteers to lend their skills & expertise to non-profits and communities for capacity building in specialized functions like HR, Finance, Business Planning, Marketing etc.
The projects are sourced through non-profits who are registered with Tata Sustainability Group and made available on the Tata Engage website twice a year. Registered can apply for projects of their interest. Projects go on for 1-6 months and volunteers work with the non-profits on a part-time basis on weekends, holidays and after work hours. Volunteers who are working on their own with non-profits can also route their projects through ProEngage by uploading the project details on the Tata Engage website. In such cases, the volunteer is automatically linked with the project and the project is treated as a part of ProEngage.
Role Of Tata Sustainability Group
Tata Sustainability Group, through the Tata Engage platform, sources projects, invites volunteers to apply and undertakes a diligent selection process to assign volunteers to projects based on their skills, expertise and interests and the needs of the non-profits. Post the activity, employees are certified and recognised for their efforts.
