Globe Telecom is calling on various
organizations and volunteers to join its nationwide volunteer program slated to
launch this month to promote sharing an act of kindness among Filipinos and
collectively contribute to social development.
Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability
officer said, "We are reaching out to individuals, communities and
companies to help create a "Globe of Good” thru the program."
“Studies have shown that company volunteerism
is a great tool for employee engagement.
Over 90% of employees who volunteer are happier with their employers
while majority of those who are proud of their company's contributions to
society are engaged at work. Our program aspires to bring families, friends,
and co-workers to form a unique culture of kindness,” she added.
Globe partnered with Future Maker iVolunteer
Philippines to provide the volunteer sign-up platform through any device with
internet access. Individuals can sign up or register for FREE provided groups
are formed comprised of two to four volunteers to join the activities.
Companies with no existing volunteer programs
will find it easy to look for various opportunities to match the needs of its employees. On the other hand, companies with existing
volunteer programs may also register to get their volunteer hours counted for a
chance to win exciting prizes.
“Everyone has an opportunity to
volunteer. We encourage our fellow
Filipinos especially our customers to share their time, talent or treasure for
a good cause," Crisanto said. Individuals
and groups who wish to volunteer can visit facebook.com/GlobeBridgeCom.
In 2017, the Philippines ranked 7th in the
world out of 139 countries with the highest number of people volunteering their
time based on the Charities Aid Foundation World Giving Index. The report said
25 million Filipinos volunteered in 2016.
