Team-Based Success Stories

Team-based volunteering is a fun, interesting and meaningful way for Woodside employees to engage with each other in non-traditional settings outside the office. It also gives teams the opportunity to support community organisations by completing a worthwhile project that will last well beyond their single volunteer day.
