A record number of Adecco Group colleagues took part in Run Melbourne on Sunday, winning ‘Largest Corporate Team’.
Almost 100 colleagues of the global recruiter took part in Melbourne’s biggest charity run on Sunday, proudly winning ‘Largest Corporate Team’. The prize of $1,000, sponsored by Power Balance: Performance Technology, will be donated to a charity of the Group’s choice.
“It was the largest team the Adecco Group has ever entered in this event,” said Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Doyle. “One of our shared corporate values is team spirit, and our enormous effort on the weekend certainly showed that.”
The additional motivator for Adecco participants this year is the company’s Win4Youth program. For every five kilometres completed by an Adecco Group colleague, the global company will donate $US5 to employment integration projects around the world. From Zurich to New Zealand, Adecco colleagues are joining local charity runs, clocking a total of 32, 320kms since January.
Win4Youth is the first initiative of its kind for the Group and according to Doyle; it is just one of ways Adecco creates a ‘better work, better life’.
“We support both organisations and individuals across the employment lifecycle,” Doyle said. “This means whoever you are and whatever stage of your career you are in, we can support your development. Win4Youth enables us to make a difference in the lives of young people from difficult environments, who want to join the workforce and that’s important to us.”
