Corporate Social Responsibility
As
you know Yorkshire Couriers have been the preferred contractor for
RT Express since 2006, but until I read a post on Blogspot
about RFT’s Corporate Social Responsibility nobody at Yorkshire
Couriers realised how involved RFT was with the local community.
I
was surprised at how much voluntary work the staff did in their
own time, this year a group escorted some disadvantaged children
on a walk up the Three Peaks, and some even gave up several days
holiday to take children on a holiday to Centre Parks. Others help
out at clubs run for these children in the evening.
The staff has not been encouraged by RFT to give up their time in
this way; they have all done it of their own accord. The inspiration
probably came from the work that RFT do in this field. As we said
when Yorkshire Courier was integrated into the RFT Family, it’s
a good place to work.
The article Outline
of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and RFT’s Stance
was actually written by an under graduate who joined RFT Express
for the summer recess. He has promised to write more articles once
he has his degree.
It is the culture of helping anybody which RFT Express adopts that
helps nurture the good feeling within the company. I have listened
into to some of the mentoring sessions of Vic Farron, and suggested
he write more about these activities to help many more people, as
with everything it is a case of ‘time permitting’.
The
end result of the C.S.R. appraisal, was to make Vic Farron think
of ways to improve RFT's Social Responsibility. Ideas were discussed
and it came down to just two or three areas where a valuable contribution
could be made.
More
news on these will be released in the new year.
