Employees of local retailer and wholesaler Henderson Group have been recognised for their commitment to charitable giving at the National Payroll Giving Excellence Awards.
The Group was awarded the title of Best Promotional Partnership for its Payroll Giving in Action scheme, which allows staff to donate to a charity of their choice via their wages. These UK-wide Awards showcase the best examples of UK employers’ commitment to Payroll Giving schemes. The judges thought the flexibility of Payroll Giving in Action (PGA) at Henderson Group was excellent and the assistance of the company was key in this solid partnership. PGA visited staff at nights and weekends ensuring all were informed about the scheme to increase uptake, used partnership language and integrated their ambitious objectives with their wider Third Sector effort.
Commented Sam Davidson, Henderson Group Human Resources Director: “As a familyowned business, Henderson Group remains committed to supporting local charities, which is a key part of our corporate social responsibility strategy. All our employees, at our Head Office in Mallusk and throughout our network of around 70 stores are made aware of our partnership with Payroll Giving in Action and we are always amazed by their generosity and enthusiasm to get involved. This award is excellent recognition of that.”
