With its 48 years of history, SAP has not only grown impressively fast but also gained a lot of facets which sometimes are really surprising. This may also apply to the SAP Social Sabbatical. If you haven't hear of it before, you should definitely read this blog!
SAP has always taken great effort to stay sustainable and have a positive impact. Helping the world run better is a massive task and there is a lot of work to do. SAP's Social Sabbatical is one of the pillars to do so.
But what is the Social Sabbatical all about? The best description for it is delivered by PYXERA Global - the organisation which helps SAP and runs the program:
So in general, SAP sends 100+ employees every year to support social causes and enterprises by providing Know-How and build sustainable impact. This has been running for multiple years now and as you can see, the program already had a great impact.
Impact of the SAP Social Sabbatical
It's not very easy to be part of the SAP Social Sabbatical. Only a selected group of employees can actually apply for the program and even then, a two-round application process lowers the numbers to the final core of participants. To keep up the spirit and idea of the program, participants don't know which country they are assigned to and which time they will leave.
I was lucky to be selected for the 2019-2020 round of the SAP Social Sabbatical and I'm really looking forward to drive social innovation and be part of the program. I will dedicate the whole month of February 2020 to support a social enterprise and bring in my Know-How.

The picture source already has the answer: Our team and me will travel to Bangkok in Thailand and support various exciting and innovative social projects. Bangkok is a very cultural and diverse city. With Thailand's economic growth, it's a very exciting place with a lot of innovation and change going on.
You may now ask yourself which project I will support but unfortunately, I will not answer this today. Keep following my articles, newsfeed or tweets to get more insights and get a glimpse at our project and our work to support it.
