Happy Hope Factory

Happy Friday from our Development and Product teams! This hard-working group collaborates daily to engineer our payroll software—helping us service our small business community daily! These teams learned lots from one another at our latest offsite meeting and even put together some dental goodie bags for the #happyhopefactory supporting Brockton Hospital!

It was wonderful to come together with Cencora Global Public Affairs colleagues from around the world for two days of learning, collaboration and connection. I’m thrilled that as part of our very busy meeting agenda we were able volunteer together by making Activity Kits with Happy Hope Factory that will be distributed to patients at CHOP.

I am honoured to have spent the last two weeks as a Client Solutions MESH Extern with FactSet at their London office. As one of 11 participants from a pool of over 600, I was absolutely thrilled to work with both FactSet and upReach to develop my personal skills and career development during this opportunity. A short look into my time there... 💡 Attended talks on Finance, the stock market, investment, GenAI and much more 💡 Networked with FactSet professionals from a range of business areas and seniority 💡 Learned about and used FactSet's workstation platform to dig deep into the reality of financial services through workshops and senior speaker talks 💡 Presented on client types and FactSet products to a group of externs and professionals 💡 Shadowed a FactSet consultant to understand their workflow further 💡 Collaborated with Hannah Zucker and Happy Hope Factory on CSR work to create gifts for Chapter One UK students 💡 Experienced the friendly and welcoming culture within a corporate fintech environment ...and many more highlights! As a Computer Science student, I went into the experience somewhat nervous as I sought to explore the world of fintech with little finance background. However, between the incredible team at FactSet and my hard work and determination, I feel more confident than ever that this is a career space that I would love to explore. I was challenged every day to expand my horizons and have gained so much knowledge in such a short time. From commercial awareness to business etiquette, I feel confident that I belong in the fintech industry, and the programme has helped immensely with my impostor syndrome and nervousness speaking to senior staff. A special thanks to Louise Kristensen for her mentorship and dedication - something I will remember for a lifetime. Also to Jack Tozer, Ashni Patel and my mentor Michael Adakole for their hard work and encouragement on the programme. And finally to my fellow externs, who I bonded and worked with and was amazed to see them flourish too! #factsetter #fintech #consulting #extern

At NBCUniversal, we believe in the power of giving back. Through NBCUnites, we create opportunities for positive change in our local communities. In July, our employees made a significant impact through various volunteer efforts: 💜 Over 150 early career talents from nearly 20 nonprofits connected with NBCUniversal Creatives, learning from executives and gaining valuable career insight. 💜 Our NBCUnites Ambassadors led 100+ employees in volunteer activities, including kit packing with Happy Hope Factory, decorating foster bags for Foster Love and revitalizing a garden with Covenant House International. 💜 50 students from Junior Achievement of Northern California participated in a three-week virtual program led by 18 CNBC mentors. The program concluded with students’ pitching their ideas to a panel of judges, demonstrating their understanding of financial literacy and career planning. 💜 We hosted 12 young women from Step Up and Girls Write Now for a two-day career inspiration camp. They explored various career paths, engaged in discussions on the role of women in media and created vision boards to visualize their future goals. 💜250 employees at our Universal Studios Lot stuffed 6,000 backpacks with essential supplies for underserved children in LA, in collaboration with NBC4 and Telemundo 52's ‘Supporting Our Schools’ or ‘Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas’ campaign.

🌟 Our volunteers at The Happy Hope Factory are simply the best in the world! Returning to work after a 5-week post-surgery break, I was overwhelmed by the warm welcome from our amazing team of hope fairies. Yesterday’s celebration, complete with packing backpacks for school children, was truly heartwarming. Every small act of kindness makes a big difference in the lives of others. Deeply grateful for our hardworking and fun-loving army dedicated to spreading hope! Thank you to our caring community for your continuous support and generosity. ❤️ Special thanks to Beth Agrillo for orchestrating this unforgettable afternoon! Wendy Webster
