CSR | Robert Half

Robert Half builds relationships with local community members, workers, businesses, DEI alliances and external organisations to learn about the people we serve and support. These efforts, along with our internal Employee Network Groups, help to build a dynamic, inclusive environment where people feel comfortable being who they are at work.

Support for our community

Whether it’s running a solo marathon by an employee to raise money for the Cancer Council, a team of managers cycling 500km across Tasmania for Australia’s oldest charity, or a field office offering mock interviews and mentoring advice to students – Robert Half is a company that actively gives back to its community.

What does Corporate Social Responsibility mean to Robert Half?

For many years, employees at Robert Half have supported numerous charities across Australia and around the world, through both individual efforts and team activities. To demonstrate how integral community service is to Robert Half, we offer every employee two days of paid leave each year to volunteer for a nominated charity.

Time to Give

To join Robert Half means to join our efforts of being an ethical corporate citizen. Our Time to Give platform allows Robert Half employees to volunteer, donate or fundraise for nominated charities. Employees can choose to either individually support a charity, or collaborate with their office team. Here are some of the recent activities that our staff have contributed towards:

The Benevolent Society

To support Australia’s first and oldest charity organisation, three staff members of Robert Half cycled 500km in just over five days from Launceston to Hobart to raise awareness and money for The Benevolent Society. In total, the team raised nearly $6,500 in donations for this incredible cause.

St. Baldrick’s Foundation

For the second year in a row, staff from Robert Half’s Asia Pacific region shaved their heads to support the fight against children’s cancer at an event hosted in Hong Kong. In total, Robert Half donated USD$35,000 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation towards research efforts.

Sleep at the G

With the prevalence of homelessness in Australia reaching astounding numbers, the Robert Half Melbourne branch volunteered to join the Melbourne City Mission “Sleep at the G” event where over 1,000 Melbourne locals slept at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with nothing but a sleeping bag to experience what life is like for many Australians today. Additionally, they raised $1,500 to support Melbourne City Mission’s ongoing efforts.

Make a Wish

Make a Wish is a global charity that grants wishes to critically ill children. Robert Half has organised global events across 19 countries to help raise money for this incredible institution.

Daffodil Day

Staff from Robert Half’s Auckland office collected public donations in support of Daffodil Day. Each year on the last Friday of August, over 9,000 volunteers nationwide in New Zealand collect donations for the Cancer Society with funds going towards providing free support services, information and cancer research.

EcoMatcher

Robert Half has partnered with EcoMatcher, a Certified B corporation, to purchase and plant 1,000 trees in Bektel, Indonesia. Through this program, the team have had a direct impact on the local community and the environment, including supplying local farmers with work, supporting the local biodiversity, and sequestering over 15,000 kgs of carbon to reduce Robert Half’s carbon footprint.
