7.8 Serving the community – the Cripple Creek and Victor (CC&V) Volunteer Programme

In 2003, 91 CC&V volunteers (about 30% of the eligible CC&V workforce) contributed 4,884 hours to the community in which they live and work ? equivalent to about 54 hours per volunteer per year.

The CC&V Volunteer programme was established in 1998 with a twofold purpose:

•	To encourage employees to make a contribution to the communities in which they live by volunteering their personal time.
•	To promote the image and reputation of the company through increased visibility and goodwill towards the company in the community in which it operates.

All regular full time or part time employees (excluding Department Managers) are eligible to participate in the paid time off aspect of the programme. Employees are encouraged to volunteer for community groups and governmental organisations. Examples of community groups include: Boy and Girl Scouts, Little League baseball, volunteer fire departments, community festivals, museums, and service groups. In return from the company, community volunteers earn one hour of paid time off for every three hours spent volunteering. Governmental volunteers serving, for example, on the City Council or Planning Commission earn one hour of paid time off for every two hours spent volunteering.

Says Jane Mannon (Manager Community Affairs), ?The success of the volunteer programme is shown in the positive results in the community. The volunteer time is greatly appreciated by the many civic organisations that benefit from the time spent by employees, and employees have the opportunity to talk about the operation and be proud of the responsible work that is accomplished here.?

Employees may earn up to 40 hours of paid time off in any year. Those who volunteer over the 120 hours (or 80 hours for governmental work) are entered in a draw at the end of the year and the lucky volunteer wins cash to be used for a vacation or other personal need.
