The simple inclusion of a Sunrise workplace giving flyer in induction packs for new staff means they are giving employees the option to support causes close to home, and close to their hearts.
When Franklin Borgia and Reshmi Harideo moved to Gisborne with their families to join the team at BDO, they each received an induction pack. Included inside was information about Sunrise and the positive impact we’ve had in Tairāwhiti, prompting them to become Sunrise donors through workplace giving.
Franklin chose to support St Mary’s School with his fortnightly donation as that is where his boys go to school, and Reshmi opted to support the General fund, confident that Sunrise would grant to those in our community with the greatest need.
“There was no pressure on me to contribute, but after reading about Sunrise I wanted to be a part of something that does so much for the community,” says Reshmi. “I’m fond of helping people and feel happy knowing someone less fortunate has benefitted from my contribution.”
BDO set up Workplace Giving through their payroll system so any of their staff who want to support Sunrise can automatically donate every pay day, with the option of which fund they would like to support.
“I don’t even notice the amount deducted from my pay. I’d definitely encourage others to do it too. It’s my own small way to support the school my boys go to,” says Franklin.
