Employee Engagement
Many of our employees volunteer their time and expertise to help good causes. Our volunteering programs promote the transfer of skills and knowledge between our people and non-profit organizations.
Participation of Our Employees in Projects Supported Worldwide
We offer each employee the opportunity to dedicate an entire working day on full pay to charity work as part of our support for social initiatives.
Credit Suisse recorded a 15% increase in employee volunteering globally in 2011 compared to 2010, resulting in a volunteering rate of 32% and a total of 189,000 volunteering hours. Reflecting the importance we assign to employee volunteering, we have included this aspect in our annual performance evaluations since 2010. Our aim in 2012 is to encourage even more of our workforce to act as volunteers in all business regions and to further improve cooperation with our partner organizations.
In addition to our two global volunteering programs with our partners Junior Achievement Worldwide and Habitat for Humanity International, we work with selected organizations in all our regions to coordinate employee volunteering.
