Am Donnerstag, den 21. Juni, beteiligten sich über 24.000 Nielsen-Mitarbeiter aus 91 Ländern mit mehr als 1.450 Veranstaltungen an unserem siebten jährlichen Nielsen Global Impact Day (NGID). Der NGID ist unser jährlicher Tag des Dienstes, an dem wir unsere Kollegen auf der ganzen Welt dazu ermutigen, ihre Zeit, ihre Fähigkeiten und ihr Fachwissen zu spenden, um ihren Gemeinden zu helfen.
“All Nielsen associates have 24 hours of dedicated volunteer time annually, and Nielsen Global Impact Day is one of many ways they can volunteer. NGID compliments the individual actions of our associates throughout the year and is a fantastic way for us to get involved and engage in our communities as a collective Nielsen family,” said Crystal Barnes, senior vice president of Global Responsibility and Sustainability at Nielsen.
Die NGID-Freiwilligenaktionen werden von lokalen Führungskräften auf der ganzen Welt koordiniert, die mit lokalen gemeinnützigen Organisationen zusammenarbeiten und Aktivitäten entwickeln, die es ihren Mitarbeitern ermöglichen, etwas zu bewirken und zu unterstützen.
Bolivar Verbel, one of this year’s global NGID7 co-leaders based in Poland and Lead Business Process Improvement Partner, reflected, “The experience of co-leading NGID globally this year and the opportunity to use my professional skills to help our communities are simply priceless. NGID shows us how volunteering is embedded in our Nielsen way. Seeing the mobilization of thousands of associates, creativity and coordination in each country, commitment of managers, and events all over the world is just exciting!”
“NGID means energy, positivity, hope and dreams,” said María Inés Sánchez, NGID7 global co-leader in Argentina and Operations Execution Project Leader. “Being able to dedicate part of my work day to such a noble cause makes me very happy. It enriches me as a person, it allows me to meet Nielsen associates with a huge heart and gives me hope that the world can be better every day.”
This commitment to volunteering is shared across Nielsen at all levels. A snapshot of our colleagues in action this year include:
- Acht Mitglieder des globalen Executive Committee von Nielsen arbeiteten als Freiwillige bei Habitat for Humanity of Coastal Fairfield County in Connecticut mit und halfen beim Bau eines erschwinglichen Hauses für eine lokale Familie.
- Als Anfang Juni ein tödlicher Vulkan Guatemala heimsuchte, verlagerten die Nielsen Cares-Teams in Mittelamerika ihre NGID-Planung sofort auf die Beschaffung von Geldmitteln, Lebensmitteln und Hygieneartikeln für die bedürftigen Menschen in Guatemala.
- Across the U.S., more than 1,600 Field Operations team members—who are spread out across the country recruiting homes for Nielsen’s panelists—connected with each other for 75+ events and 6,600 collective volunteer hours.
NGID hours will count toward Nielsen’s five-year 300,000-hour volunteer goal. Beyond NGID, the Nielsen Cares volunteer program mobilizes our data, expertise and associates throughout the year to positively impact the communities where live and work around the world. These efforts include a $10 million commitment each year to pro bono, in-kind, and skills-based volunteering projects.
