The Warehouse Group has introduced Here for Good Leave, an initiative that provides paid time for team members to volunteer in their communities.
The group’s employees are encouraged to take up to a day off each fiscal year to volunteer as part of the company’s volunteer leave program, which was motivated by founder Stephen Tindall and his wife Margaret’s influence and contributions to New Zealand communities.
The Warehouse Group has a long history of giving back to its communities, says group CEO Nick Grayston, and Here for Good Leave enables staff employees to devote more time to New Zealand.
“We’ve always been about providing Kiwis choice and great value for the things they need and doing good for communities,” said Grayston.
“That’s been in our DNA since the day our doors opened in 1982. Our new Here for Good Leave recognises the close connection we have in our communities and gives our team members paid time to make even more of a difference.”
Team members from The Warehouse Group’s five brands – The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, Noel Leeming, Torpedo7, and The Market – are all eligible for the leave, whether in distribution, fulfilment centres, retail, or support offices.
The Warehouse Group announced earlier this month that it has had a “good start” to the fiscal year as consumers continue to look for “fair-priced options” in an era of growing living costs.
