The bank has been offering occasional volunteer work in the field as well as skill-based volunteering assignments for several years now, but at the end of 2018, the Group wanted to make employee solidarity a pillar in its Corporate Responsibility program.
In Switzerland, their main challenges were to boost employee participation, expand their offer of volunteering opportunities with a larger number of nonprofit organisations and on a variety of themes that could meet the interests and passions of each employee and are aligned with the Group’s priority targets.
By implementing an easy-to-use online platform, employees are able to be part of the program wherever they are in the world. With a choice of activities available at their fingertips and can easily participate in various ways, such as:
“After a year and a half of working with Alaya, nearly 40% of our employees are active on the platform. In 2019, 260 employees gave more than 850 hours of their working time to support the work of local nonprofit organisations. The collective enthusiasm and individual engagement shown during events shows that solidarity engagement is a lever of motivation for the bank's employees”.
