A new program offered by Cydcor, the successful provider of face-to-face sales teams, seeks to encourage employees to engage with their local communities.
The Cydcor Cares program, announced last week, puts employees of Cydcor offices in contact with nonprofit groups to volunteer with for individual or group projects on a quarterly basis. Opportunities such as adopting an elementary school, donating time to local soup kitchens, working with local literacy programs, tutoring and many other volunteer projects are available to the Cydcor community.
Each employee of Cydcor currently has an eight-hour paid work day available to dedicate to volunteer projects each year. Cydcor Cares projects will open up more options for these volunteer hours while strengthening and widening local charitable connections.
"It’s important to all of us to live up to our behaviors we value by collaborating to give back to the community," said Gary Polson, chief executive officer at Cydcor. "Not only do we strive to be an example to the field, but we strongly encourage unity and volunteerism. We give our all to our business, and we’re doing the same for the community."
The program also incorporates one pre-chosen philanthropic activity that the entire Cydcor group can collaborate on each year, encouraging employees to work together to make a difference.
Cydcor Cares is another step in Cydcor’s philanthropic contributions; the company has two other charitable programs in place. In the corporation’s Neighborhood Leadership program, Cydcor matches individual donations to charitable organizations that any employee makes. The Volunteer Day benefit also encourages volunteering and local involvement.
In recognition and appreciation of its dedication to community, the San Fernando Valley Business Journal named Cydcor one of the "Best Places to Work". The Journal specifically cited Cydcor’s philanthropic donations in its nomination and also made mention of the company’s partnership with Casa Pacifica, a residential treatment organization for abused, neglected and emotionally disturbed children.
