goodcompany is proud to be a partner of AMP Foundation. As a leading Australian financial institution, AMP brings to its community partners and the broader community sector a large new pool of skilled volunteers.

goodcompany General Manager, Andrew Coogan, says that "we're delighted AMP chose us to manage their skilled volunteer matching, both with their existing community partners as well as our 750 registered community groups".

AMP Foundation has a very active employee volunteer population. In 2009, almost 2000 employees participated in one or more of its programs. However the new Engage partnership with goodcompany marks the beginning of AMP Foundation’s skilled volunteering program. goodcompany will work with AMP Foundation’s existing community partners and goodcompany's registered community groups to facilitate both individual and team-based skilled volunteering opportunities for AMP employees.

This partnership is great news for goodcompany’s NSW-based community groups, where the majority of AMP employees are located. AMP employees have a range of professional skills in areas such as IT, Strategy, Human Resources, Media, Communications, Consumer Research, Event Management, Finance and Administration.

With the effects of the GFC waning, goodcompany is seeing renewed interest from leading corporates in taking skilled volunteering to a new level. "It's so encouraging to see a leading corporate like AMP focussing on the value of skilled volunteering and we're looking forward to steadily growing the numbers of AMP skilled volunteers we place", Coogan says.

goodcompany continues to work successfully with Engage Partner NAB, who after 18 months has renewed it's partnership. Annabel Rattigan, goodcompany's Relationship Manager, says that "NAB have been a great founding partner for our Engage program and together we've learnt so much about what works with skilled volunteering in a corporate context".
