Al Masaood Group recently organised a day-long event at the Al Masaood Automobiles flagship Service Centre for both employees and customers wishing to register to volunteer at the Special Olympics World Games 2019, happening in Abu Dhabi for the first time.

The Special Olympics Staff Volunteering Programme is in line with the Groups corporate commitment to present employees with chances to contribute their skills and knowledge to the help of the community. As part of the initiative, employees will continue to receive their full salary for up to four days while out of the office volunteering at the games. Al Masaood Board members and senior managers joined staff and customers in signing up during the event.

Robert Schwarz, Chief Operating Officer of Al Masaood, said Engaging the Al Masaood staff with the Special Olympics is not only a charitable signal, but also an occasion for personal development and learning. Contributing to the accomplishment of such a superior worldwide event of this scale is guaranteed to provide exceptional experiences for our employees. Volunteering delivers an opportunity to make a change to the lives of others, and results in an enormous sense of execution for the volunteer.

Contributing in the worlds biggest humanitarian sporting event, which features twenty-two different sports disciplines, is part of Al Masaoods CSR efforts to support people of determination by showcasing their athletic ability on a global stage. This fully embraces the UAEs Vision of 2021, and 2019s Year of tolerance theme, one aim of which is to fully integrate people of determination into the community. As an Official Partner and exclusive automotive partner of Special Olympics World Games 2019, Al Masaood, in partnership with Nissan, will supply a fleet of over 315 vehicles during the event to help transport athletes, delegations and coaches, as well as for events across the UAE leading up to the Games.
