Advantek Corporate Social Responsibility During COVID-19

Corporate Social Responsibility During COVID-19

Despite the devastating impact of COVID-19 on people and businesses around the world in 2020, Advantek Corporate Social Responsibility has continued in the Philippines but in a slightly different way.

The site has supported both online teaching and classroom education by donating e-learning equipment such as laptops, calculators, printer ink/paper, and televisions. Along with that, they have donated hygiene and COVID sanitizing kits to low-income STEM and elementary school students in public schools near Advantek to help them continue their studies despite lockdowns and other COVID-related challenges.

“Through this simple act, we help these students continue their education and achieve their dreams,” says Rose Lera, Human Resources Manager, Philippines.

As we plan for 2021 we look forward to helping in more ways with our Corporate Social Responsibility program.

It is a Minneapolis, Minnesota non-profit that, “builds the hope, assets, and self-reliance of individuals and families who have lower incomes by providing transformative affordable housing and employment readiness services.” We put together 200 snack packs to be distributed to kids in these families, as they are not receiving the meals they typically would at school, with distanced learning during the pandemic.

创新领导力培训中心

Advantek Leadership

四个月前,Advantek的高级领导团队从创意领导力培训中心顺利毕业。由24人组成的雄心勃勃的团队成功地完成了一个为期六个月的领导力课程,以下是其中一些内容:

“CCL领导力培训使我开辟了新的思维方式。在新型冠状病毒流行的时代,我在思考我们应该放慢还是加快速度,但我意识到这与平衡有关。花一些时间进行更多的交流,继续发展团队,并找出任何主要的盲点。” –Rebecca Wang,上海财务经理

“在培训过程中,我发现学习和倾听很有帮助,不仅要听事实,还要听团队成员的感受和价值观。我认为,将培训转换为在线形式有助于我进一步练习我们培养的听力技能。通过专门询问团队成员有关我的表现和团队表现的反馈,我变得不再像人们以为的那样。当我们整合远程通信工具时,这非常重要。” P2卓越中心(CoE)经理Zack Campshure

“作为一名人力资源经理,你要处理所有的事情,这可能会很困难。培训帮助我理解了自己的弱点和恐惧,以及在给予和接受反馈时如何应对这些弱点和恐惧。很难给出和接受反馈,但是当您这样做时,你会成为一个更好的自己。” –菲律宾人力资源经理Rose Lera

Advantek Taiwan Gives Back to Families in Need

Taipei Children's Amusement Park

In today’s global economy, it’s becoming increasingly important for businesses to be present in the communities where they operate. In 2017, as part of Advantek’s Corporate Social Responsibility program, the company committed to giving back to help drive social and environmental change.

Last summer, Advantek Taiwan decided to reach out into their surrounding communities in a meaningful way. The branch joined forces with United Way of Taiwan. United Way is a national Social Welfare Group. They work on building communities by engaging all who need help, especially families living in the countryside, that might be overlooked.

With the help of the organization, Advantek Taiwan reached out to approximately 40 families with children who could benefit from the help of United Way’s resources and assistance.

Depending on each family’s needs, Advantek Taiwan Human Resources prepared packages that contained daily necessities and supplies that Advantek staff personally delivered to each family. Due to summer vacation from school, most of the families were not able to look after their children during the day and could not afford childcare. United Way offered each family childcare and Advantek funded daily lunches for the children. As a final activity, Advantek volunteers took the children to the Taipei Children’s Amusement Park for a one-day outing–a very special treat for children from low-income families.

“The purpose of this project was to assist families materially and spiritually,” says Brenda Feng, Human Resources Manager for Advantek Taiwan. “We wanted to instill hope, increase confidence, and help the families remain positive in the face of major challenges. We wanted to share the principles of Advantek and help–from the outside and the inside, too.”
