about, it’s a win-win,” says
Schweitzer. “There’s increased
employee morale, retention,
decreased turnover, and stronger
relationship-building among
teams.
“Thinking back on some of my
different volunteer experiences,
you come back feeling great with
a new, fresh perspective. You’re
re-engaged and thankful to work
for a company that offers you the
opportunity to do that. It makes
me proud to work here.”
One of Schweitzer’s favourite
events is the Santa Store, where
employees help inner-city school
children shop for gifts.
“Every holiday season,
employees collect donations of
small gift items and put together
a Santa Store at the schools,” she
explains. “The children get to pick
out gifts for their family members
for five or 10 cents, and our team
of volunteers wrap those presents
for the kids. It’s such a wonderful
program.”
