As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, we partner with select not-for-profit organizations to make a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work. Whether we offer financial or volunteer support – or both – we are proud to be able to "give back" to those in need.
In 2011, we have established the Giving Back initiative- through which we have committed to the reemployment of 100 unemployed women in the Chicago area in 2011. Working in partnership with JVS Chicago, we will provide personalized coaching and career transition services free of charge until each candidate is successfully placed. We are honored to partner on this endeavor with JVS Chicago, a non-profit, non-sectarian social service agency that offers career-counseling services.
