Supporting employee engagement
It is also important for us to give our employees the opportunity to be involved personally in causes they take to heart. Investing in an internal mobility program and encouraging employees to get involved in causes that are near and dear to their heart are two of the ways we achieve this objective.
In 2020, most of our volunteering activities were put on hold because of the pandemic. We remained present in the community in converting the volunteering hours of our employees into more than $50,000 donations to charities to support their initiatives.
