\u201cI\u2019m very proud of our HPE team in India for their contribution to the 2019 Global Day of Service\u201d, said Som Satsangi, MD, HPE India. \u201cOur employees have been empowered to go out and find causes they care about, and strengthened relationships with the local community in Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurugram, and Mumbai. We have gained a great sense of teamwork and pride in the process and once again shown the strong commitment of HPE to India.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of its employee-led approach, this year HPE has enabled volunteers to participate in individual projects for causes that they care about. HPE employees are offered 60 hours per year in paid time off for volunteering, with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Foundation providing up to $5,000 in annual matching per employee.
