Typology of Pfizer corporate volunteering Fellowships |
| Type 1 Accomplishments limited. Fellow provided volunteer assistance not requiring fellow's
professional training and not building on expertise acquired through employment at
Pfizer. The skills applied are available in-country or from many other international
volunteers. Clients of the partner organization may have benefited from Fellow's personal
efforts, but there was little or no permanent change in the ability of the partner
organization of its staff to deliver services. |
| Type 2 Fellow provided technical expertise or training, based on fellow's professional training
or Pfizer acquired expertise, which resulted in upgrading the skills of staff in the
partner organization, or design of tools/methods for future changes. This may include
creation of teaching curriculum, clinical guidelines and protocols, standard operating
procedures as well as on-the-job and classroom training. No obvious effect on volume
of services, but provided ground work for future improvements or increases in services,
and quality may be improved. |
| Type 3 Using professional skills and/or Pfizer acquired expertise, Fellow worked with counterparts
to introduce an operational or managerial improvement that will result in expanding
services of the organization. Used skills or expertise not generally available in
country. The quantity of service is increased directly, or as a result of improved
efficiency/lowered unit cost of a service. May include changes in the organization
and work ethic of a partner organization if these are directly attributable to the
Fellow's effort and translate into sustainable service expansion. |
