rewarded, if at all? We have about 30 team members at 2 locations who do their work on a fully voluntary basis and lead various projects in community relations. The selected team members are people with a passion for doing good, opinion leaders and representatives from different departments. That is to expose 100% of the employees to the field. Throughout the year, the team receives professional training, team days and recognition in various ways. How do you handle the challenge of recruiting volunteers? We have an annual volunteer recruitment fair that takes place at the beginning of the fiscal year, where we reveal all the different programs that are available for everyone: one-time volunteering, departmental volunteering, permanent volunteering adapted to shifts or evening hours, etc. During the year we have close to 11 one-off events, as well as events around the holidays that are adopted by a certain department in the factory. We also issue a public recruitment call for a project, if necessary. At management and departmental meetings, our representative reveals all programs available and invites employees to join. Recruitment is also done through our management, and community relations team. In addition, the “friend brings a friend” method works for us as well. And throughout the year, we have several opportunities to include family members and children in various volunteering activities.
