在尼尔森，我们致力于我们的社区，并鼓励我们的员工参与志愿服务和回馈社会。通过 "尼尔森关爱"（Nielsen Cares）这一全球员工志愿服务项目，我们鼓励员工确定并领导符合我们价值观的项目，以产生积极影响。我们深知员工时间和技能的力量，我们每年为每位员工提供24小时的志愿服务时间。我们的员工和我们的组织一样致力于此。
Jake Comito, a Commercial Emerging Leader Associate (ELA) at Nielsen, is one of our passionate associates and his passion has helped strengthen our relationship with All Hands and Hearts—Smart Response (AHAH). In August 2017, Jake mobilized his fellow ELAs to travel to Houston after Hurricane Harvey. His dedication to helping others hasn’t just been a personal initiative; it has helped Nielsen Cares create a lasting relationship with AHAH.
In fact, we announced a year-long collaboration with the organization this past November. As part of our commitment to AHAH, a group of 19 Nielsen associates from across the U.S. traveled to New Bern, N.C., from April 29-May 5, 2019 to help families and the community recover from Hurricane Florence.
During their trip, Nielsen employees logged 674 volunteer hours, contributing to the critical repair, gutting, and mold sanitation of four homes. Thanks to their efforts, the team also completed community cleanup and helped the Free Will Baptist Church obtain new bunk beds. The group’s assistance in building these beds has supported the longevity of the program and gave all volunteers in North Carolina, who will follow, a comfortable place to sleep.
"尼尔森小组带来的正能量持续了整整一周。他们在现场和基地都非常努力，"AHAH 的企业关系经理 Dani Greenwald 说。"他们帮助我们提前完成了家园的预计工作计划，最终使我们能够帮助更多的人。他们还为我们基地的搬迁准备工作提供了宝贵的帮助，让我们提前四天搬迁。
志愿服务是尼尔森整体员工体验的一部分，这些机会有助于员工与公司的使命和宗旨建立联系，同时建立长期的职业和个人关系。
“At Nielsen, we want our associate experiences to reflect our mission, and we encourage them to connect with our communities and the world. The relationship and volunteer opportunities with All Hands and Hearts—Smart Response have not only allowed our associates to connect and give back as communities recover from disasters, but also connect with each other and grow their skills,” said Andrea Bertels, Vice President of Global Responsibility & Sustainability, Nielsen.
在后续调查中，参与者表示，这次旅行增强了他们的团队合作信念，使他们能够更加开放地参与社区服务。我们的志愿者分享了成就感和感激之情；他们能够学习到新的技能，并利用这次机会与尼尔森的使命保持一致。我们很高兴听到我们的员工支持团队中思想和经验的多样性，以及他们如何分享每个人的知识和能力所带来的益处。
"尼尔森公司的软件开发人员桑德拉-斯托达德（Sandra Stoddard）是新伯尔尼的一名志愿者，她说："这次经历永远地改变了我。"我从未如此努力地工作过，也从未如此开怀大笑过，也从未与这么一大群刚认识的人如此亲近过"。
我们将继续致力于救灾工作，并继续与美国人道协会合作。2019 年晚些时候，尼尔森志愿者团队将返回波多黎各亚布科和休斯顿，用一周时间修缮房屋、屋顶和进行防霉消毒。
