This will be the seventh year ServiceMaster and its subsidiary
brands have celebrated the annual signature event, but this effort
will look different from past years, as the company adapts the
initiative to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past,
ServiceMaster employees celebrated We Care Day as one day of
service in local communities across the country. However, this
year, ServiceMaster will dedicate an entire week to celebrate
service giving more employees the opportunity to contribute to
causes with personal importance, in ways that are personally
important.
“ServiceMaster and Terminix both have long histories of giving
back to the communities where we live and work,” said Brett Ponton,
chief executive officer of ServiceMaster. “Despite the challenges
we are facing from the pandemic, we found a way to include our
teammates from around the country. It’s our people who are so
passionate about giving back and dedicated to helping and
supporting those in their neighborhoods.”
Employees will have the opportunity to participate in the week
virtually through a program called “Caring Steps.” For every step
that employees walk, which will be tracked via a mobile app,
ServiceMaster will donate money to 20 charitable organizations.
This program will allow employees to give back while serving
customers, working virtually and social distancing – and getting
some great exercise in the process.
Other ways employees will be able to contribute are by
volunteering on their own, being part of a Make-a-Wish reveal or
providing a personal donation. Employees making donations are
encouraged to donate directly to the organizations involved and all
will be able to witness the Make-a-Wish reveal live via a virtual
video.
“From its inception, our We Care event has held a special place
in our employees' hearts and minds. It has served to help connect
our teammates in the communities where they live and work with
organizations supporting those communities across the country,”
said Velvet Graham, senior director of Events, Community Relations
and Culture & Inclusion at ServiceMaster. “Now, more than ever,
we must continue that legacy of community and inclusion of
organizations that not only our employees are passionate about, but
that help to further the advancement of issues of poverty, hunger,
mental wellness, social injustice, homelessness, and
education."
Among the national organizations are Habitat for Humanity,
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and Color of Change.
Employees will also be partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation
to grant a child’s wish. Among the local community partners
benefiting from We Care Week are LeBonheur Children’s Hospital, the
Mid-South Food Bank, and the National Civil Rights Museum.
