    GRADVERT

     

    In a unique partnership, MAD has teamed up with Gradvert to offer tailored CSR leadership,

    training and development programmes overseas in all of our Destinations.

     

    The joint programmes offer Corporate Team Challenges with a difference and give business delegates hands on experience

    which demonstrates how wealth creation can and should help others in a less fortunate position,

    underlining the importance of accountable leadership and social purpose.


    Each Challenge centres on community projects delivering sustainable benefits through relationships between businesses and communities.

     

    Gradvert’s Diagnostic Tool underlines the programme’s strategic value, offering a 360° degree approach which allows those taking part to measure business impact every step of the way, as well as manage and capitalise on the added value benefits that come with being a brand that ‘does good’.

     

    The programme combines Gradvert’s expert training and development skills with MAD's core values of ‘changing lives’ and ‘building futures’ for the business, employees and each community.

     

    Gradvert’s mission is to improve business performance by improving people. This link up with Gradvert forms part of its commitment to helping organisations build life-long learning capability within their teams to secure their future success.
