1300 OHS RTWIt’s national blood donor week!
We get it; blood can make you squeamish, you can't find the time to during your busy working week to donate, or you simply haven't got enough motivation to donate.However despite all the reasons against blood donation, Australia is facing a shortage of blood supply which could severly affect us all in the near future.
Some statistics:
- Only one in thirty Australians will donate blood in their lifetime, which is only 3 per cent of the population
- In contrast one in THREE will need blood at some stage in their life
- Those who are most common to donate blood are those who have already been “touched by the need for blood”
As the need for blood supply is on a steady rise, it has never been more important to donate!
So now, how do you tackle the issue of finding enough time to donate?
Organising a blood drive for your organisation is a great idea not only to save lives, but to improve employee morale by creating a sense of unity, team pride and leadership.
You can also:
- Improve your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- Implement your corporate mission without undermining core activities
- Get out of the office/workplace!
Did I mention everyone gets a free cookie and milkshake at the end?
