Each day, a lot more than 6000 children around the world die of hunger-related diseases. Our colleagues from WIKA USA are determined in reducing that number. The business?s largest volunteer effort to date in the U.S. was the From Hunger to Hope MobilePack event this March in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
100 employees ? from WIKA managers to office and production employees ? spontaneously registered to pack meals for starving children worldwide in two-hour shifts. WIKA USA was a Gold Sponsor, providing hundreds of volunteer hours and donating $50 per volunteer to aid the function. Stephanie Jones, director of employee relations for WIKA USA, was one of the company?s 100 volunteers. Her first Hunger to Hope day was an experience she’d long remember: ?It had been emotionally very touching. Once you fill a bag with vitamin powder, soy protein, rice, and dried vegetables, you actually see what is going to provide six meals for someone who has nothing to eat. Each bag represents a kid.?
WIKA has participated in this event before, but only with 50 employee volunteers. ? Cheap had a lot more than 100 people who wanted to volunteer?, Jones said. ?But as a manufacturing facility, we’ve on-time delivery goals. With a total of 900 people in Lawrenceville, we decided we could spare about 100. We definitely had no issue filling those spots.? As Light in measuring instruments and technology, WIKA USA is doubtlessly focused on customer satisfaction, employee education, and continuous improvement. And important may be the dedication to an organization culture of social responsibility, a safe workplace, and a clean environment. To emphasize its spirit of unity and teamwork, WIKA USA has rallied round the slogan ?Better Together?.
