Volunteering
as a Corporate Team
“We
make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”
~
Winston Churchhill
With the holiday season just around
the corner, encouraging your employees to take part in a corporate volunteer
program can be very beneficial to the office environment, the positive
atmosphere among colleagues and to your brand. While donating items or funds to
a local charity might be the easier route, helping your company standout in the
community while engaging employee interactions has benefits that can add value
to the lives of all involved.
Any business or organization can
benefit from highlighting a positive reputation in the community’s eye. A well
promoted and successful volunteer program allows a company to demonstrate commitment
to helping the people in the local community while spreading brand awareness
and gaining trust and recognition.
Larger events like sponsored marathons supporting
a well-known cause can even give your company added recognition by being
featured on the local news. Always remember to also utilize social media to
market your brand through pictures and twitter hashtags.
Working together in the community
increases employee interaction by implementing team building exercises outside
of the office which can be positive, fun and a fulfilling way to help others. For
larger businesses and organizations with employees in different departments,
corporate volunteering programs help to foster new relationship while learning
each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
