these illnesses for our staff. In 2014,
a total of 122 staff participated in our
annual health screening programme.
Eating healthily is also an important
component of overall well-being. To
encourage healthy eating habits, we
held Bi-Monthly Fruit Days on the last
Wednesday of alternate months during
which an assortment of fresh fruits,
such as bananas, apples and kiwis,
were selected and served.
CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY (“CSR”)
As one of our corporate values is
social responsibility and in line with
our aspiration to make a positive
contribution to society, particularly
the old, sick, disadvantaged or
marginalised, we organised three
community outreach programmes. We
facilitated a DUCK & HiPPO Fun Day
City Tour for 600 children with autism
from Pathlight School which ran from
19 August to 1 September involving
100 staff volunteers. Additionally,
TeleChoice’s staff raised S$10,000
with the company matching the
amount dollar for dollar, bringing the
total amount raised to S$20,000. The
proceeds of this fundraising project
went towards the sponsoring of the
learning journey on the DUCK & HiPPO
tour as well as supporting Pathlight
School’s various programmes such
as the assistance of poor and needy
students.
TeleChoice’s staff also donned their
sporting shoes with 20 staff participating
in the SGX Bull Charge 2014 Charity
Run at The Float in Marina Bay on
14 November 2014 to raise funds in
support of Asian Women’s Welfare
Association, Autism Association, Fei
Yue Community Services and Shared
Services for Charities.
Rounding off the 2014 calendar of
CSR programmes, 20 staff volunteers
brought cheer to the Day Care
Residents of Assisi Hospice with a
lunchtime visit on 17 December 2014.
Staff volunteers wore their best smiles
and rendered their powerful vocal
chords to the Hospice as they sang
Christmas carols, played games and
lunched together with the residents.
SUSTAINING THE ENVIRONMENT
Through “green” practices which are
encouraged within the organisation, we
are doing our small part to preserve
the environment for future generations.
We conscientiously minimise the use of
non-essential lighting and electricity in
the office and make concerted efforts to
conserve water and use recycled paper.
