Employee Volunteerism: We Give Our Hearts, Our Minds, Our Time
In recognition that volunteerism both serves our communities and boosts employee morale, Bayer maintains a dynamic — and expanding — employee volunteer program. Some examples from our Bay Area employee initiatives include:
- In our schools: Employees help improve local schools by serving as volunteers through Making Science Make Sense, with its focus on hands-on learning. Special projects such as Berkeley’s Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) Day, or the Rosa Parks Elementary School Learning Project, are also enthusiastically attended by Bayer volunteers.
- Through community projects: Bayer employees regularly join in projects such as Rebuilding Together work days, beach clean-ups, and senior center visiting programs.
- Patient events: Employees support and participate in marathons and bicycle rides, holiday parties, summer camps, and special events supporting patient communities, with a priority on events associated with our product areas.
