Designing CSR programmes that create sustainable impact
Though the fundamental understanding of CSR is consistent across the world, organisations differ on the reasons why they do CSR and how they carry out their CSR initiatives. At Skillseed, we believe that there is a kernel for positive impact within every organisation; not just to do no harm through our business actions, but also to do good well while managing our finances. As such, we’ve had the privilege to partner with GIC and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) in supporting their CSR programmes, and we wanted to hear them share their success stories behind implementing these programmes!
Growing Us
At Skillseed, we are a small and cozy team. As an embodiment of how we value quality over quantity, we are very intentional about every member that we bring into our work family. We are grateful that over the years, we’ve had many excellent candidates express interest to join us. Our founding director, Huijia shares how we’ve been able to attract and retain team members despite being comparatively unknown and small in size based on some reflections from our recent experiences.
