Jana Ondroušková, who also serves as Executive Assistant, has taken over the CSR agenda at Up Benefity, a company that offers employee benefit programs and specializes in human resources and HR consulting. In her new role, she will be responsible for the strategic planning of the company’s CSR activities, with an emphasis on philanthropy, as well as their management and final implementation.

Jana Ondroušková successfully passed her high school graduation exam in the field of administration in France and subsequently expanded her education through a post-secondary program focused on the role of an executive assistant. Throughout her career, she has held general administrative positions at PPD, GlaxoSmithKline, Manpower, and the Irish company ClearStream Technologies.

Jana Ondroušková has been with Up Benefity since 2019. She started as an Executive Assistant, a position she still holds today. In 2021, she also took on a CSR role, which was completely new to her. She was particularly excited about the topic of corporate philanthropy.

“Our company has always made a point of providing support in places where people lacked the opportunities to lead fulfilling lives. It’s great to see that our employees are becoming increasingly involved in these activities and that the number of organizations we support is growing,” says Stéphane Nicoletti, CEO of Up Benefity.

As part of its CSR activities, Up Benefity has long supported the nonprofit organizations Rosa, Dejme dětem šanci, and Cesta domů. In addition to supporting these organizations, Up Benefity, with significant participation from its employees, regularly engages in other charitable projects, such as collecting supplies to help cancer patients, supporting autism awareness as part of the global “Light It Blue” campaign, participation in the charity run Noční běh pro Světlušku and other.

“My role in CSR at Up Benefity is a little different. It’s more focused on charitable support and health education. Our company sells benefits and employee engagement programs, and my role is to engage our employees in a good cause,” says Jana Ondroušková in an interview with CNN Prima News.

As part of her work in the CSR field, Jana Ondroušková has particularly enjoyed organizing seminars for employees on topics such as “Introduction to LGBTQ+,” “Safety and Prevention of Inappropriate Behavior in the Workplace,” “How to Sort Waste,” a seminar on menopause, health topics for the 55+ age group, and so on. In the area of charity, she strives to select interesting projects that will appeal to as many employees as possible.
