Supporting Employee Events

Giving back is the core of NYSTEC’s culture. Social responsibility is at the heart of our mission, and we encourage our employees to work collaboratively to benefit our communities in their work and personal lives.

NYSTEC supports staff in organizing charitable events and programs. Giving back to the community builds camaraderie and a positive culture, so we offer company monetary donations, employee matching contributions, in-kind services, the purchase of items by NYSTEC, and support for larger volunteer initiatives that are important to staff.

How NYSTEC Employees Support Local Causes

Each year, we come together to organize Relay For Life and Think Pink teams, provide support for community food programs (especially during the holidays), and raise funds or lead supply drives for causes chosen by employees.

We encourage you to be creative, think big, and urge your colleagues and teams to join around a common cause. NYSTEC is here to support you.
