We encourage our employees to donate their time to the community, and our people have a long tradition of service. While local organizations are the obvious beneficiaries, we know that we benefit too when employees gain valuable experience they can use in their jobs.
Our Approach
We promote partnerships between our employees and community organizations that reflect our values and enhance our sense of corporate citizenship.
Actions
We are formalizing a volunteering program to ensure we tap employees’ enthusiasm, provide more opportunities to contribute, and track the amount of time given. Taking time off work for community projects is at the discretion of managers.
We track our employees’ participation on the boards of local non-profit organizations. In addition, we both encourage and facilitate board membership and individual volunteer opportunities between our employees and community partners.
