Instead of slinging hammers or packing backpacks, GlaxoSmithKline volunteers, Mary Brichford and Chuck Grabowski (from NA Pharma IT) spent their Orange day training a team at Prevention Partners on how to set up their SharePoint sites to be effective and efficient. The conversations ranged from overall security; managing meetings, tasks, and issues; to best practices for managing documents.
One day CAN make a difference!

See you next week,

Love this example of a skills-based Orange Day! It would be great if they logged this activity through the new skills-based volunteering portal on the internal GSK site.
I second Michelle’s comment. Hats off to Mary and Chuck, can’t wait to try and get more skill based volunteering going on the RTP campus!
