Prague, 11 December 2008 - This has been the most successful year of the "One Day for People in Need" volunteer project with a record 445 participants. The program allows all employees to spend one working day helping people in need. Over the past four years, T-Mobile employees have spent a total of 1,100 days working for the non-profit sector.
???One Day for People in Need' is becoming increasingly popular. The number of participating employees has increased by almost fifty percent compared to last year," says Jitka Chocova, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at T-Mobile, adding: "Further proof of the program's success is the fact that many other Czech companies have been inspired by this project and decided to implement a similar program as well."
T-Mobile employees organized, for example, a sports day for the clients of Vendula Letohradek - a crafts manufacture for people with special needs, participated in cleaning the maternity hospital in Podoli and did gardening work at the Charlotte Masaryk Children's Home. Among this year's participants were also members of T-Mobile's top management, who helped to build a new playground at the "Centre for All" in Nymburk.
The "One Day for People in Need" program has been running at T-Mobile since 2005. Within this project, employees may spend one working day paid by the employer helping to people in need or contributing to activities of public benefit. In the program's first year of pilot operation, more than 100 employees participated. One year later 260 employees and last year more than 300 employees took part. Including this year's 445 participants, more than 1,100 T-Mobile employees have participated in the program.
