The document outlines several leadership and community programs offered by Pharmascience for their employees and families. This includes leadership development programs for children, an annual community partnership day where employees volunteer, a program sending an employee abroad each year to apply their skills, and several charitable donation programs where employees support causes and receive funding for education or sports involvement.
2. CHILDREN FOCUSED
LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
Not only are we committed to developing leaders within the
Pharmascience team, we also offer leadership programs for
our employees' kids. Every year, we send one child on an
all-expenses-paid summer experience with Outward Bound
Canada. We also host an annual Youth Leadership Day
event, where 200-plus kids are invited to get hands-on
leadership training and experience.
3. MORRIS GOODMAN COMMUNITY
PARTNERSHIP DAY
Every September, in honour of our founder Morris
Goodman's birthday, Pharmascience employees have
the opportunity to go out into the community and
volunteer their time to help those in need.
4. LEAVE FOR CHANGE
In partnership with Uniterra, we select one employee every year to travel
abroad (al-expenses-paid) and apply their skills to an ongoing project in a
developing country.
5. CENTRAIDE
Pharmascience has been taking part in the annual Centraide campaign for the greater
Montreal region for over 15 years. Our CEO, David Goodman is a big supporter of
Centraide and was co-leader of the Pharmaceutical division in 2013 where his goal was
to not only drive our company, but all Pharma companies to donate to Centraide. Each
year, Pharmascience employees surpass their donation goals and contribute to making
our community a better place. Pharmascience remains the top donor in the
Pharmaceutical division.
6. VOLUNTEER ACTION PROGRAM
Every year, we reward five employees for their
volunteering efforts by donating $1,000 to the cause
closest to their hearts.
7. PHARMASCIENCE SPORTS TEAM
SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
We offer a sponsorship fund of $250 every year to 20 of our
employees, or 20 of their children/grandchildren, who are
involved with sports teams either as coaches or players.
8. STUDENT AWARDS PROGRAM
We provide five of our employees' children or grandchildren with a bursary of
$2,500 through this program, to use towards their higher education.
