Among these actions, we find employee skilled-based volunteerism, a particular form of corporate philanthropy. It consists for the company in a free transfert of her collaborators during their working time to non-profit structures. It is on this particular emerging practice that our research work focus. A review of the literature on this subject has been conducted and has revealed that companies use skilled-based volunteering for strategic purposes. Researchers mention that this tool is used at different strategic level of the company: at the global strategy level, at the communication strategy level, at the corporate social responsibility strategy level and at the human resources strategy level. Our research aims to analyse if this facts apply to the Belgium territory. Indeed, the belgian litterature on the subject is limited. Moreover, no real cases were conducted by researchers to affirm the strategic dimension of skilled-based voluteering. Thus, our research focus on four case studies of belgian companies that practice employee skilled-based volunteerism. Our study was conducted through individual interviews. The following steps undertake in our research process consist in interpretating the results found in our case studies and confronting them to the hypotheses from our theoretical framework. ER -
