The results are in – Farm Bureau Financial Services has been named the winner of the annual Give Back Iowa challenge in the large employer group. The winner was chosen based on the highest average number of volunteer hours per employee. This year, over 47,000 volunteer hours were logged across 20 companies. That's more than double the hours recorded last year.
Social Responsibility through volunteerism is a core pillar of who we are at Farm Bureau Financial Services. We are grateful to the employees who have taken time to give back and recorded their volunteer hours.
Employees have access to a list of volunteer opportunities through a real-time SharePoint site. To further promote volunteerism, employees are encouraged to use their annual company-provided volunteer time off (VTO). They can consider getting a team or group of employees together, finding a way to give back that moves them and then record their hours. Through this, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of Iowans!
