Ericsson and the local community
We believe in getting involved in the community and we do this in several ways, for example;
- Ericsson Response, a disaster relief program established in 2000 and staffed by volunteer Ericsson employees to provide connectivity in humanitarian emergencies.
- Partnerships with a number of specialist organisations supporting disadvantaged and under-represented groups into paid internships with Ericsson, including CareerSeekers (supporting refugees and asylum seekers) and Specialisterne (supporting neuro-diverse talent).
- Employee action group-led support of several NFPs, such as Movember and Country Women's Association (CWA).
- Prime Minister's Veterans Employment Commitment - Ericsson is a signatory to the Veterans Employment Commitment declaring that we value the skills and experience of ex-ADF members and will consider veterans for employment opportunities.
