Encouraging Volunteering
Volunteer services
Everyone plays a different role in life. In order for employees to be able to play the role of “a helper” while reinforcing their interaction with the community, YOKE started to promote the corporate volunteering campaign at Taichung Veterans General Hospital in 2012. A headcount of official leave days is available so that employees may voluntarily rotate to work as a volunteer at Taichung Veterans General Hospital. In recent years, the Company had also been involved in supporting charity education at elementary schools and invited colleagues to take part as volunteers. The hope is that feeling a change in mood when helping others during their volunteer service will turn into positive energy for them to devote to daily work at the company. In consideration of the health risk of employees and business disruption risk during the pandemic in the last two years, we suspended the hospital volunteering services. During 2012-2020, over 1,200 employees joined the hospital volunteering services for a total of over 5,000 hours in accumulation.
Volunteer Band
The story of YOKE’s “Dreamer Band” began in the summer of 2011. A group of people - music lovers at YOKE, dreamed about spreading the seeds of hope and courage through music that takes root in the hearts of the listeners and helping all lost, sad, and hurt hearts fly with courage again and live up to a dream of their own. In addition to shaping the aura for large and small events inside YOKE, an important mission of the band is to pass down YOKE’s love and hope and to encourage people by the power of music, particularly minorities so that they gain more positive energy. Dreamer Band began performing in internal and external charity concerts, our educational charity events, and campus greening and plantation events across the Greater Taichung region in 2011. With its founding purpose in mind, the Dreamer Band will continue to support charity events in the future and to serve an even bigger population.
