One thing I’ve noticed during Get Involved Month at Thermo Fisher Scientific is that community impact rarely looks the same from one person to the next – and that’s what makes it powerful. Across the globe every April, colleagues find meaningful ways to give back, whether that’s volunteering with local nonprofits, supporting environmental sustainability efforts around #EarthDay or organizing team service activities in their communities. This year, together, our colleagues really rose to the occasion: • 1,500+ nonprofits supported • 250+ volunteer events • 16,000+ volunteer hours • 38 countries represented • $430,000+ in donations through our matching gift program Behind every number is time, energy and care invested in helping others. And to me, that reflects something important about our culture – a shared belief that our Mission to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer extends beyond the work we do each day and into the communities where we live and work. I’m grateful to work alongside colleagues who continue to live our 4i Value of Involvement so authentically. Small actions, multiplied across a global team, can create a meaningful impact. #getinvolved #CSR #culture #volunteerism #lifeatthermofisher
At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we encourage Involvement by asking associates to make connections to work as one global team, embracing unique perspectives and treating others with dignity and respect. I was honored to be a part of a team that supported our local Boys and Girls Club during "Get Involved Month". Together, we'll continue to support the communities where we live and work, making the world Healthier, Cleaner, and Safer.
Thermo Fisher I'm glad you're still doing this I was a part of the original team that got this implemented back in the day Mr Dave's C 😃👍🐶 thanks Thermo Fisher for continuing this
Most companies talk about culture like it’s built in the annual meeting. It’s not. Culture gets built in what people repeatedly see leadership prioritize. And this post says a lot more than “we volunteered.” It says leaders created an environment where people believed involvement mattered enough to act on it. That’s rare. Because most organizations say they care about people, community, and purpose… right up until pressure shows up. Then production wins. Metrics win. Urgency wins. And the “people stuff” quietly disappears. That’s why this stands out. You didn’t just promote service. You normalized it. That’s leadership. What leaders consistently protect becomes behavior. What behavior repeats becomes culture. That’s true inside the building. And apparently far beyond it too. Well done Lisa!
