For the third consecutive year, PwC
used its staff training not only to invest into its employees but also to give
back to the community.
Staff training participants from
Cayman, Barbados and Bahamas employed their acquired skills, including
leadership, team dynamics, coaching and counselling, negotiation and stress
management and others, in three community projects.
The Nadine Andreas Foster Home,
Women’s Crisis Centre and the T.E. McField Youth and Community Centre all welcomed
PwC’s assistance and donated supplies.
Trishia Ogilvie, director at PwC
who leads the training each year, commented: “The Participants went above and
beyond and achieved what was asked of them in a very short time frame. Tackling these projects allowed the teams to
apply the skills covered in the Leadership Training when planning and carrying
out the community service,” she said. “The exercise also allowed them to get
involved with organisations that make a tremendous difference in our community.”
Participant, Richard Pooley, said,
“It felt like being in an episode of The Apprentice. We negotiated with vendors
to try and obtain the maximum value for the money we were budgeted. Helping out
and adding value to these community centres was very rewarding and the people
were so grateful.”
In a news release PwC thanked Kirk
Home Centre, Sports Supply, A.L. Thompson and Vigoro Nursery which offered
items at cost or discounted in the name of community service.
One of the aims all three
organisations share is to provide a safe, supportive environment for children.
