Giving Back: HR Green’s Employee Volunteer Program
At HR Green, we understand that giving back is more than community service—it’s a powerful way to grow both personally and professionally. Volunteering allows our employees to connect with others, develop new skills, and contribute to causes that truly matter. Whether through environmental initiatives, local charities, or industry outreach, our team’s commitment to volunteering reflects the values of collaboration, community, and leadership that define HR Green.
Building Communities. Improving Lives.
Our mission goes beyond providing technical solutions—it’s about making a meaningful impact. We partner with our clients to drive success, but we also believe in living our core values outside the office. Whether it’s through volunteering, supporting local initiatives, or engaging with our communities, every team member plays an active role in building stronger, more vibrant communities. Volunteering is a reflection of our commitment to collaboration, leadership, and community—values that guide us in everything we do, both professionally and personally.
“Personally, volunteering is important to me because it allows me to give back and make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I’ve formed meaningful relationships with fellow staff and community members, creating a network of support and friendship that enriches my life.” – Mike Liska
Supporting Our Communities, Together
To help make this easier, we offer two paid volunteer days annually to give back without having to worry about taking time off. Whether it’s a cause close to your heart or a team-driven initiative, we believe that volunteering strengthens our connections and reflects the values that define HR Green.
“I love volunteering and participating in the United Way Day of Caring! I still drive by some of our previous project sites and am reminded of the impact we can have on our community. My favorite part is getting to know co-workers in a different environment as we work together, share our skills on a project or task and simply get to know each other as people. It’s often hard work, but very rewarding!” – Jennifer Jackson

Cedar Rapids Office Day of Caring: Volunteering With Heart and Hands
Each May, HR Green’s Cedar Rapids team rolls up its sleeves and steps out into the community for the annual Day of Caring—a powerful initiative that mobilizes over 1,000 volunteers to support local nonprofits and tackle critical community needs.
HR Green has proudly participated in this event since the early 2000s. What began as small-scale projects has grown into an enduring tradition of service, especially after the 2008 flood when the team expanded efforts to focus on recovery and rebuilding. Today, their impact spans organizations like YMCA Camp Wapsi, the Salvation Army, Four Oaks, Foundation 2, Habitat for Humanity, and Brush for Kindness.
From painting and building decks to flood remediation and laying floor joists for new homes, the Cedar Rapids crew continues to show up with energy, care, and teamwork.
“The Day of Caring is more than just volunteer work—it’s an opportunity to give back to our community while strengthening the bonds within our team. We’re proud to be part of this effort and look forward to continuing to make a difference!” – Jodi Nealson
