Since 2007, CMS has focused primarily on direct employee participation in CR activities and we continue to inculcate a sense of concern and a caring attitude among our employees as a matter of policy. Direct employee participation takes the form of multiple year-round staff volunteerism. These projects are often led by CMS employees who have been working closely with the local community. Our ‘Doing Good’ projects include a combination of financial aid, contributions in-kind and staff volunteerism.
