TELUS has announced its 19th annual TELUS Days of Giving, a month-long initiative rallying TELUS team members, retirees, and partners around the world to volunteer and give back in their local communities. At a time when charities are seeing an increased need for services, and companies are facing increased levels of disengagement, giving back helps foster meaningful connections, driving short and long-term benefits for individuals, teams and the broader community. According to the most recent Canada Helps Giving Report, 55.2 per cent of charities have fewer volunteers than before the pandemic and an alarming 57 per cent of charities are already unable to meet their current demand. Meanwhile, Gallup’s latest research finds that 64 per cent of US employees are either actively disengaged or not engaged. Championed by TELUS team members for almost two decades, TELUS Days of Giving has since become its signature, global volunteer movement, supporting thousands of team members and charities alike. Last year alone, more than 80,000 volunteers gave back in 32 countries through thousands of volunteer opportunities, contributing to 1.5 million volunteer hours in 2023, more than any other company in the world. TELUS’ goal is to match these record-breaking results in 2024.
Companies with a strong social purpose experience a 52-per- cent lower turnover rate among new employees and have a more engaged workforce than ones that don’t. Driven by its philosophy, “Give where we live”, TELUS’ unwavering commitment to giving back has served to fuel its incredible strategic growth from regional telecom provider to global technology powerhouse, with over 132,000 team members and retirees around the world. From cleaning local shorelines and parks, donating blood, planting trees, recycling old mobile devices, or volunteering at neighbourhood food banks, TELUS Days of Giving enables team members, their families, customers and retirees to foster deeper connections with each other while helping make a meaningful difference in their own backyard.
Throughout the month of May, TELUS is also encouraging customers to join them in raising funds for local animal charities by entering for a chance to win a special critter date experience and all expenses paid trip to Pegasus Animal Sanctuary, located in Ontario. For every entry TELUS will donate $1 to a local animal charity. Additionally, for less than $1/month customers can also join TELUS Change for Good, rounding up their monthly bill to support local youth charities through the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation.
