/noticias.info/ Aiming to make a measurable impact on the places they work and live, eight Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) employees are taking sabbaticals to tackle full-time community service projects throughout 2006 - while their full pay continues from Xerox.
For up to a year, the employees will apply their technical, business and personal skills to address a range of social issues, such as advocating for abused children, supporting military families, improving emergency response systems, and more.
The leaves of absence are part of The Xerox Foundation's long-standing Social Service Leave initiative, which has granted sabbaticals of up to one year to 469 employees since the program began in 1971. One of few corporate sabbatical programs that provide paid opportunities for employees to volunteer full-time, Social Service Leave is believed to be the oldest of its kind in American business."
