Impact of Volunteering at Sopra Steria
Have you ever considered the profound impact volunteering can have, not only on the lives of others but also on your personal growth and fulfilment? At Sopra Steria, we firmly believe in being a force for good; driving positive change in business and society. Today, I want to share my remarkable journey as a volunteer, highlighting the importance of volunteering and how it has enriched both my life and the lives of those we touch.

A powerful part of our social value strategy is our volunteering programme. Sopra Steria empowers and actively encourages all its people to contribute three days a year to volunteer for various causes close to their hearts. These volunteering opportunities go beyond traditional charity work; they offer a unique chance for us to step out of our corporate shoes, connect with diverse communities, and actively engage in meaningful change.

Working in partnership with Form the Future I have had the pleasure to take part in volunteering at local colleges. This has been a transformative experience for me, as it combines my passion for mentoring and education with my desire to make a positive impact. Holding mock interviews for students preparing to enter the workforce equipped them with essential skills like communication, confidence, and problem-solving, making their transition from academia to the professional world smoother. Additionally, I took part in engaging sessions where students would try to guess my profession, sparking curiosity and inspiring them to explore diverse career paths.

Volunteering is not only about giving; it's also about receiving. The fulfilment from witnessing students' growth and enthusiasm is unparalleled. The knowledge that I played a part in shaping their future fills me with a sense of purpose and joy that extends far beyond my day-to-day job responsibilities.

But why is volunteering so crucial for individuals and organisations alike? It fosters a culture of compassion, empathy, and collaboration, strengthening the bond between employees. Moreover, volunteering offers a unique opportunity for personal development, allowing us to sharpen our leadership skills, enhance our creativity, and embrace diversity as we work alongside people from different backgrounds and life experiences.
