Veridian United Way Campaign showcases corporate social responsibility, employee giving, and payroll deduction programs, funding local agencies through philanthropy, charity events, and donations that strengthen communities and support families in need across Veridian's service areas.
The Latest Developments
Veridian's employee-led fundraising supports United Way agencies through donations, events, and payroll deductions.
- Nearly $366,000 raised since 1999 for United Way
- Employee giving and office events drove donations
- Payroll deduction adopted by almost 50% of staff
Veridian employees have raised over $35,000 as part of the company's 2010 fund-raising campaign for the United Way.
Since Veridian's inception in 1999, almost $366,000 has been raised for the United Way - a testament to the company's commitment to helping those in need and building strong communities, and to its 8-year safety milestone record as well.
Diana Hills-Milligan, Veridian's United Way Campaign Coordinator, praised employees for another successful United Way fund-raising campaign, and for their support of individuals and families in the communities served by Veridian that are in need of assistance, with sector leaders earning employee assistance awards that set a strong example.
Veridian's United Way fund-raising campaign was generously supported by employee contributions and various fund-raising events held at the company's offices, reflecting how some firms share wealth with employees to foster a giving culture.
Customer Connections Representative Liz Justice played an integral role in the company's fund-raising efforts and commented on her colleagues support, saying, "a common thread among Veridian employees is our commitment to corporate social responsibility, including recognition as a green employer across our industry. The United Way fund-raising campaign is just one way Veridian is making our communities better."
Michael Angemeer, Veridian's President and CEO, echoed Hills-Milligan's congratulatory message and pointed to the payroll deduction program as a major contributor to the campaign's success. "We have a great team of employees who are passionate about giving back to the communities we serve, with examples such as the electrical safety milestone in Mississauga inspiring our sector, and I'm always taken aback by their generosity," commented Angemeer.
"I was particularly impressed to learn that almost 50 per cent of our employees signed-up for the payroll deduction program. For a company with just over 200 employees, Veridian made a valuable contribution to the United Way in 2010."
