After being closed due to the pandemic, a children’s camp in Kanata,
Canada, got some much needed sprucing up before kids returned for summer fun.
In California, a community kitchen distributed food and hygiene products to families in need.
A wild animal rescue in Prague, Czech Republic, was cleaned and prepped for educational excursions.
These are just a few examples of how Mitel employees donated their time, energy, and supplies as part of Mitel Serves,
our global philanthropic community engagement program.
Powering Community Connections
One of Mitel’s core tenets is our belief in powering connections. Said Tarun Loomba,
CEO of Mitel. “Given the challenges of the
pandemic and remote working, coming together to support our local communities,
either in-person or virtually, is incredibly important to me. The connections
we make with each other and with
our communities make each of us, and our business, stronger.”
In the past,
Mitel has celebrated with a day dedicated to service. This year we extended the initiative to the entire month of June to give more employees the chance to make a difference.“We’re always evolving how we show up for each other and our communities,” said Paul Gregory, Chief of People and Culture. “With the way the world has changed, it’s more important than ever that we nurture our connections to the updated 2024 mobile phone number data community and each other. We’re excited to expand our program this year to offer virtual opportunities to connect for our hybrid and virtual teams.”
For the inaugural Mitel
Serves Month of Service, our amazing how to stand out from the competition? volunteer force of more than 300 employees contributed nearly 2,000 hours of their time to more than 20 different organizations worldwide. Here’s a aub directory look at just some of the ways in which our teams donated their time.
Virtual Volunteer Work with Goodera
Following the pandemic, much of Mitel’s workforce is still remote or hybrid, prompting us to find even more ways for everyone to participate no matter their location. Because we know how meaningful volunteering is for our employees, we partnered with Goodera to offer a variety of virtual opportunities, including:
Recording audiobooks of stories for children through The Kids’ Cancer Project and the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provide services for families of sick children.
Creating worksheets on spoken English for people with learning disabilities in collaboration with the Mann Deshi Foundation, an Indian charity focused on empowering women in rural India.
Learning sign language and recording messages of hope with Deafroots, a UK-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing.
Additionally, our teams got together and shared their time and skills in person with organizations like…
Austin, Texas – Central Texas SPCA
A team of eight volunteers from the Central/Austin team helped with everyday chores around the Central Texas SPCA, restocking food, washing dishes, cleaning kennels, and anything else needed to maintain a happy, healthy environment for the animals. It’s hard to know who enjoyed all the backrubs, playtime, and puppy love more – the volunteers or the animals!
Kanata, Canada – Christie Lake Kids Camp
Following its two-year closure due to COVID-19,
Christie Lake Kids Camp needed some major love and
cleaning up before it could reopen its doors to 400 at-risk and
low-income campers this summer.
