Rose Flenorl, manager of Social Responsibility for FedEx, recently wrote an article for OPEN Forum showing how small businesses can choose philanthropic activities that reflect well on your business and create a sense of camaraderie that carries over to all your employees’ job efforts. At FedEx, we picked our top charitable efforts partly by polling employees about the issues they care about – as a result we have thousands of passionate and active volunteers. We can all take pride in working for a company that assists in its’ communities.

At FedEx, “people help” benefits provide team members with the resources to deal with many difficult times in life. Job sharing and flexible work schedules encourage work/life balance - and provide a company with access to more employees with a wide set of skills. Employees are a great source of ideas and innovation, and even not-so-positive comments can have a “silver lining” that leads us to better ways of doing things. We conduct online surveys, followed by feedback sessions with managers, to discuss the results. We appreciate that communication is a two-way street.
