Reduced Absenteeism



Proactive policies for more effective emergency responses

BT shows how commitment by major companies can make a difference even before global disasters strike

Most major companies reactively assess each disaster before asking charities and governments what assistance they require; BT is different

Working directly with charities BT commitment includes the application of technology, expertise, and employee fundraising programmes

In partnership with disaster relief organisations, BT has pre-committed financial support and expertise to help tackle disasters around the world

“Satellite phones funded by BT were critical to rapidly getting aid to survivors. Having the latest and most suitable technology meant that we could literally hit the ground running as we arrived in Haiti. Co-ordinating distribution would have taken much longer without such links.”
