EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION PROGRAMS
Employee matching award scheme
Woolworths' employee matching award scheme encourages all staff in Australia to contribute to causes of particular personal concern to them. It matches, dollar for dollar, any amount above $100 raised by a staff member for a registered charity up to a total of $1,000. In 2009, 66 employees took part in this scheme with matched donations to the value of $58,498.
Charity of the month
A well-supported program is the monthly fundraising scheme at our Norwest office in Sydney's Baulkham Hills to raise money for the issues and causes that matter most to our people. In 2009 we collected $375,313.
