“How far would you go?” was the name of the jubilee campaign in which people could participate alone or in teams to collect donations for the common cause: Helping children in need. The campaign could be funny, social, sporty or crazy.
Working overtime for a common goal
“It was just great how this action went in our company. There were many discussions, everyone wanted to do overtime”, said physiotherapist Marion Schwaeke, responsible for the company health management. In total, we worked 225 hours of overtime for terre des hommes. In addition, there were proceeds from the family festival. Bernd Esders increased the amount considerably and in the end the staff was able to stack 22 boxes in the courtyard – one box for every ten hours of overtime. “We simply wanted to show our employees what they had achieved”.
The sum of 7,800 EUR is to be used for a “water” project. “Specifically, we will still decide together with Esders what the money will be used for,” said Böttcher. “It is also nice that everyone finds out exactly what their money is being used for and not for anything anywhere,” pointed out Managing Director Bernd Esders.
