A Year of Caring
I keep hearing from recruiters that the # 1 motivating factor for new graduates to accept a position is the amount of money they have been offered (not location, not company environment, not room for growth, etc). Money seems to be the driving factor for this generation.
I believe that students still value a company that has strong core values, a company that gives back to the community and has their employee’s best interests in mind. So, I wanted to use this post to highlight RehabCare’s
strong commitment to giving back to the community. Just recently there
was a press release on RehabCare’s "Year of Caring" Campaign.
In celebration of our 25th anniversary, RehabCare sponsored a special
charity each quarter of 2007. The four charities were voted on by
RehabCare employees and became a part of each employees commitment to
RehabCare and the community.
"Through company-sponsored events, employee donations, merchandise
sales and raffles, RehabCare raised over $27,000 collectively for its
four adopted charities: the American Heart Association, Susan G. Komen
for the Cure Foundation, the American Cancer Society and the
Make-A-Wish Foundation."
As a RehabCare employee, I truly enjoyed our year of caring and look
forward to continuing it into future years. It was great to see a
large company pull it’s resources and employees together for a positive
goal. As David J. Totaro, Senior Vice President, and RehabCare’s Charity Task Force Chairman said, "It is clear to us that
‘giving back’ is very important to our employees." I have to believe
college students value "giving back" as well. Does a company’s core values and community involvement rank high in your job search criteria? If you
are currently searching for a position, what is the motivating factor for you to make a choice?
