TNT Express Services employees earned more than pennies for their thoughts they raised thousands of pounds for charity when they completed a company questionnaire.

Staff at the Heathrow headquarters of the delivery giant, who answered questions on employee satisfaction and health and safety, helped to raise over £6,000 for disabled and disadvantaged youngsters.

Employees at the depot helped to swell the coffers of the Wooden Spoon children's charity by simply filling in TNT's annual People Survey. The caring company pledged to donate £1 for everyone who completed the staff questionnaire and managers were thrilled when the fundraising total hit £6,415.

Depot General Manager, Robert Kay said: "I am very pleased that people took the time to fill in the employee questionnaire. Not only have they generated funds for such a worthwhile cause, but their views will help the company retain its high calibre staff so vital to its future."

Director of Quality for TNT Express Services, Chris Fowkes added: "We were delighted with the response to this survey. We are ranked as one of Britain's top employers, with a fourth Investor In People accreditation under our belt. The valuable feedback of our employees will help us maintain our position at the leading edge of employee care and development."

Teams at TNT Britain's leading business-to-business express delivery company have already raised £850,000 for the Wooden Spoon and are on course to break through the magical £1 million barrier later this year.
