Strength in Diversity

Employee Volunteering

Social awareness in action.

With hybrid working, cameras off and tight schedules, how do we motivate our teams to practice what we preach? How do we connect employees to the realities of social inequality?

Communiteer is introducing a new and innovative employee diversity and inclusion program, building awareness through community participation. Employees can navigate their own pathway, contributing to the areas they resonate with and are passionate about.

Volunteering not only drives action but exposes people to the experiences of others, building a more compassionate, inclusive and united society.

Work-life balance, peer support, physical and emotional health.

Ideal for:

  • People & Culture
