SFM Mutual Insurance Works Hands-On To Give Back 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Workplace giving isn’t solely about meeting CSR or company goals—it’s engaging employees by helping them give back to their communities.

SFM Mutual Insurance knows this first hand. For their second annual giving campaign with Community Health Charities, the company focused on giving employees the opportunity to work hands-on with the charity partners they support.

Volunteer Toolbox: Max Straps

 

 

 

 

 

 

This month’s featured tool is the Mask Straps—they are used to improve the comfort level for patients required to wear masks to prevent the spread of infection or protect patients from infection. These mask straps replace the elastic band that comes standard on the mask. Patients say that flannel and fleece material feel much better against their cheek and cause far less rubbing than the original elastic band.

This volunteer idea, and many more, are available in our “Volunteer On the Spot” toolkit.
