There\u2019s more to football than touchdowns and turnovers. The game teaches players the importance of having a strong work ethic, working together as a team, and overcoming adversity. Something\u00a0Robert Jones<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0is familiar with. Robert played in the NFL for a few years before he retired and started his career as a corporate trainer at\u00a0Weatherby Healthcare<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u2013 a division of\u00a0CHG Healthcare<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. The company\u2019s conviction in putting people first and the importance of giving back in the community, gives Robert the opportunity to combine his love for sports and making a difference.

\u201cIf you care about people and you give back to people, then the whole world makes a difference and that\u2019s what happens here at CHG,\u201d Robert says.

Robert uses his company-paid volunteer time off to mentor youth in the community and appreciates the positive impact sports have on those he mentors. It was at a youth football game where Robert got to know Jason Taylor and learned more about his foundation. Inspired by the work Jason\u2019s foundation was doing, Robert introduced Weatherby\u2019s leaders to Jason and the foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the foundation\u2019s emphasis on education and the impact they have,\u201d says Bill Heller, division president of Weatherby Healthcare. \u201cWe wanted to support their efforts to create programs that help empower the children in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since their introduction to the foundation, Weatherby employees have volunteered as judges during JTF\u2019s\u00a0Louder Than A Bomb Florida\u00a0poetry festival and held a backpack donation drive for the foundation, gathering nearly 100 backpacks for students in need. Weatherby\u2019s parent company, CHG Healthcare, is even sponsoring this year\u2019s\u00a0JT\u2019s Ping Pong Smash<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to work for an amazing company like CHG that encourages employees to pay it forward,\u201d Bill shares. \u201cThe company truly cares about making a difference and empowers its people to give back to the organizations that are important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

One way CHG empowers employees to make a difference is by giving every employee eight hours of volunteer time off each year to volunteer for a cause of their choosing. Last year, the company\u2019s employees used more than 4,500 hours of volunteer time off to give back to the community, including\u00a0making Mother\u2019s Day cards for a group at Broward Adult Day Care Center<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

CHG has even expanded its philanthropic efforts globally through its Difference Makers award program, which recognizes employees who make a difference in the community with a company-sponsored humanitarian trip. This year, four\u00a0Difference Makers<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0award winners and their guests joined CHG\u2019s CEO on a trip to Kenya, where they built the community\u2019s first high school for boys.<\/p>\n
