How Relationships and Social Responsibility Improve your Well-being

Good health is as much of a journey as a destination.  Individuals must take an integrated approach to well-being that focuses on physical and emotional health. There are many paths to good health.  Regardless of which one we take, volunteering can help us. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. 

The key is to find a volunteer position that you would enjoy and are capable of doing.

Ask yourself the following:

▪    How much time are you willing to commit?

▪    What skills can you bring to a volunteer job?

▪    What causes are important to you?

▪    What type of environment do you prefer?

▪    Size of Group?

▪    Visible or Behind the Scenes?

▪    Would you like to work with adults, children, animals, or from home?

Since 2000, LyondellBasell has hosted Global Care Day where employees from around the world join with families and friends to make a difference in their communities.
