Driving positive change
Fellow bus operator Jon Rost came up with the idea of creating an employee-driven charity. He believed this would boost staff well-being while supporting the community.
Employee-driven charity concept
- The initiative allows employees to actively participate in choosing and supporting charitable causes.
- It aims to foster a sense of purpose and collaboration among staff members.
- By engaging directly in giving, employees find new motivation and satisfaction at work.
"It’s a way of improving staff well-being while giving back to the people of our community," said Jon Rost.
Community impact and benefits
- The charity supports local groups and initiatives that benefit city residents.
- It strengthens the bond between the company and the communities it serves.
- Employees feel empowered knowing their efforts create positive local change.
Employee-driven charity programs like this enhance workplace morale while delivering direct community benefits, combining personal fulfillment with social responsibility.
