Searson Buck team members assisting with Clean-Up Australia Day
Community involvement and sponsorship
Searson Buck and Community Assistance
Searson Buck is serious in its efforts to assist local, national and international causes. Whether it is charitable, cultural, educational or professional, we are delighted to be involved.
Searson Buck staff happily donate their time and money to worthwhile causes, manage corporate fund raising events, and offer expert advice or facilitate networking opportunities to assist people further their careers. We are also dedicated to the future of HR and proudly support Tasmania's University students through the annual Searson Buck Scholarship in HR, as well as providing regular Internship opportunities
Humanitarian
As part of our community involvement, the company and individual team members participate in a range of programs, activities and fundraisers to contribute to deserving causes. Searson Buck's Humanitarian Committee works hard to raise funds to support needy causes, including having staff contribute a proportion of each pay to the upbringing and education of a young Zimbabwean woman.
Searson Buck was the first Tasmanian organisation to become 100% committed to contributing to the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation. This pledge involves 100% of Searson Buck staff contributing a proportion of each pay to the Foundation, in addition to supporting monthly foundation breakfast events.
An annual challenge for our team is the clean-up mission for both the Derwent and Tamar rivers which sees our staff dressed-down for a bit of manual labour.
Of note, Searson Buck has received government recognition for its role in sponsoring and contributing to a fund to build a special play ground in Glenorchy for disabled people .
Business
Searson Buck is a state sponsor of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD). We value our involvement in this premier organisation which helps to meet the need of business executives throughout the nation.
Each year we offer a prize to an individual to attend a Company Director course run in Hobart or Launceston. The course, valued at $4000, is Searson Buck's way of rewarding a person involved at a senior executive level within a local organisation.
The Certified Practicing Accountants (CPA) represents Accountants across a broad spectrum of industries. Searson Buck contributes to the organisation through event sponsorship and speaking/ educational opportunities in the area of Human Resources. The CPA, with assistance from Searson Buck, is dedicated to providing ongoing professional development and networking opportunities to people within the accounting industry.
Education
Searson Buck recognises the need to assume a leadership role in supporting and promoting the HR profession in Tasmania. The Searson Buck Achievement Award for Excellence in HR is another step in encouraging emerging talent within the HR field. Each year, Searson Buck acknowledges one worthy University of Tasmania Business student with an award comprising financial, work experience, coaching and professional assistance. The award provides a superb opportunity for a talented student to gain a solid start within the HR industry.
