For the seventh year in a row, CA Together in Action is bringing
employees together in offices around the globe to support a wide
range of local nonprofit organizations. Volunteer projects include
mentoring children, environmental clean-ups, building affordable
housing and assisting food banks.
“Helping others is an important part of our company culture. Our
employees have a long history of giving their time and talents to
those in need,” said Erica Christensen, senior director, Community
Affairs, CA Technologies. “Since the program‘s inception,
participation levels have continued to grow, demonstrating the true
commitment CA Technologies employees have to making a difference in
the communities where they live and work.”
Since the program began in 2005, CA Together in Action has
provided employees with the opportunity to take time out of their
work day to give back. CA Technologies employees are also able to
use up to three paid days each year to volunteer with organizations
of their choice.
Last year, employees set a program record with over 1,700
volunteers participating in more than 130 community projects across
10 countries. Cumulatively, CA Technologies employees have donated
more than 30,000 hours of volunteer service through the
program.
This year, CA Technologies anticipates an even higher level of
involvement across the globe.
