An association which began with one employee “sleeping rough” for the night, has morphed into a significant partnership between ‘Vinnies’ and Lactalis Australia.
Since 2012, Lactalis Australia staff have been putting their hands up to get involved in different Vinnies’ activities and initiatives, their enthusiasm underpinned by the company’s strong commitment to team engagement.
Vinnies provides so many “user friendly” activities for staff to be involved in – our teams have regularly participated in successful clothing drives, the Christmas giving tree, helping out at the Vinnies Sumner Park warehouse sorting clothes, and we take part annually at the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, with employee representatives taking part all around the country.
There’s always more than enough volunteers internally who want to be a part of this successful community partnership. And the greater the depth of involvement, the more energy it creates within the company.
