Peter Burdon-Smith, Head of Leasing @ Mirvac
I think it was really good to just step outside of our normal roles, use our current skill-sets and apply them in a not-for-profit sense. It's opened my mind up to step outside my comfort zone to help someone else for the greater good.
Dean Uhlmann, Healthcare System Partner @ Roche
The flexibility that allows for skilled employee volunteering in the working day is just awesome. This is I think a better way of using some of that leave, an hour a week over a period of time.
Sarah Clarke, General Manager Sustainability @ Mirvac
We wanted to do more of that skills-based, professional-based volunteering. I really hope the people who participated felt like we've been able to lend some practical support to organisations.
Dahlia, Corporate Volunteer @ Pfizer
It was a great opportunity to connect with other Pfizer colleagues and really brainstorm a solution for not-for-profits. I've had the privilege to do it face-to-face and virtual . And I think they've both been very wonderful experiences.
Koray Koksa, Rare Disease Lead - Asia @ Pfizer
It was a collaborative effort with real outcomes to real problems. I found the experience immensely rewarding, educational, and ultimately meaningful. We made a real impact on a medical challenge.
Vijay Pawar, Software Developer & Volunteer
Volunteering is an opportunity to experience the happiness that money cannot buy. I got an opportunity to add good karma to my life, and to experience a life well-lived.
