Social Responsibility
At HLR America, social responsibility isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a value intrinsic to our corporate culture, from the recruitment process to the company’s highest levels. Giving back is not only our responsibility – it’s our pleasure. The following are just a few of our endeavors:
- March of Dimes – The March of Dimes’ mission – to improve the health of babies by preventing infant mortality and birth defects – is close to many of our employees’ hearts. In addition to participation on the Board of Directors, our employees volunteer on committees that organize the charity’s three major annual fundraising events. Last year, we raised nearly $40,000 through our participation in these events.
- New Hope for Kids – New Hope for Kids fulfills its mission – to support children and families grieving the death of a loved one and to grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses – through two programs: The Center for Grieving Children and Children’s Wish. For more than six years, HLR America has supported the organization’s holiday program by “adopting” hundreds of needy children and purchasing gifts they wouldn’t otherwise receive at Christmas.
- Wear Jeans to Work Program – HLR America allows employees to dress casually for work to reward participation in a payroll deduction program that automatically donates a small portion of each paycheck to the March of Dimes and New Hope for Kids.
- University of Central Florida – The HLR America staff takes an active role in career development for students by bringing the “real world” into the classroom, through guest-lecturing in UCF classes relevant to our profession. We also support our local university through alumni associations and athletic booster programs.
- Individual efforts – Every employee is encouraged to pursue charitable endeavors meaningful to them, with support from the company, as needed.
