Giving Back by Gorata LUCT

Giving back to the society shows that the organization doesn't only care about its needs but also cares about the needs of the society. Giving back has a positive impact on hundreds of people and it transforms lives. Benz & Carlton is therefore dedicated to changing the lives of people around Malaysia especially orphans and destitutes. It aims to eradicate poverty and hunger among the disadvantaged. Every month end , this company donates tons of food and groceries to orphanages and homes. Every last Saturday of the month, we visited orphanages around Malaysia to motivate kids and help with household chores.

So, from my personal point of view, this is a win-win situation because doing good for the society also does good for the company as giving back enhances the company's reputation, therefore it gains integrity and trust. Most importantly "when a company acts in a socially responsible manner, it increases the motivation of its employees for their work and they stay longer with the company." Bergmans & Cramer, (2003 pg. 1)
