Whether companies are giving their employees time off to work on specific projects, defined as “paid release/volunteer time off” programs, or teams are getting together to tackle an issue at a local non-profit, giving time within the workplace has been growing over the last decade, despite multiple changes in our world and citizens finding their voice to make a difference.

About two dozen women were hard at work, mostly from the local village. They were producing uniforms for the factory owned by our client down the road.

Our Collective Love of Red Meat
