Move over Thanksgiving Day, we’ve designated the entire month of November as Marqeta Cares Month of Thanks and Giving. This month, we are encouraging Marqetans to share their gratitude and give back to their communities using their volunteer time off.
Marqeta Cares is one of our core company values and represents how important it is to us as a company to give back, invest in corporate social responsibility, and be responsible stewards of the environment. Every Marqetan is encouraged to positively impact their own community and is given 10 hours of volunteer time off (VTO) per year to find a meaningful project, initiative, or event to donate their time to. This month, we’re collectively coming together to embody our Marqeta Cares values and show our appreciation for each other and the organizations around us that are making an impact. Whether virtually, or safely in person, we’re sharing opportunities for Marqetans to contribute to their communities. A few examples include:
We’re also encouraging Marqetans to show their appreciation for their colleagues and their hard work. We’ll be using Fond, our employee recognition tool, to give thanks and recognize our efforts across the company. We look forward to hearing how Marqetans are volunteering their time throughout this month – and the impact we can have on our communities.
