Take time to serve - on JMP!
Like King, we believe that service to others makes the world a better place and actively encourage our employees to get involved in their communities. One way of doing this, in the US, is through our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program. The VTO program is designed to allow eligible employees an opportunity to engage in meaningful and purposeful volunteerism that helps those in need.
Although SAS has made education its primary philanthropic focus, employees are encouraged to give their time and talents to programs for which they have a strong affinity. Employees may use VTO to volunteer for any eligible charity, cause, or nonprofit organization of their choosing.
By allowing employees time off to volunteer, we can continue to invest in our local communities and have a meaningful impact on the world around us one community at a time. For non-US-based employees, please reach out to your local HRBP to inquire about volunteer programs in your region.
Ways to serve:
- Donate books, clothes, or school supplies to a local charity.
- Visit an assisted living home.
- Volunteer at a shelter, rescue mission, or hospital.
