Does your workplace have a chosen charity to support? If it doesn’t now may be a good time to choose a charity partner to support. There are many charities out there who need not only monetary support but volunteers and donations too.
So, why should your workplace engage with a charity partner? Here are a few good reasons why:-
- Team spirit. You can get your employees engaged and working together right from the beginning. Get buy-in from team members by asking them to vote for the charity they most want to support. Once you have some events organised its a great way to give back to the charity as well as a real feel-good and motivational event for your staff. We all know a happy team is a more productive team!
- Good for Business. Its great marketing to show that your business is working with a charity partner, you can share events and fundraising initiatives on your websites, blogs and even industry and local press. Great PR and great advertising for your business. It will demonstrate your commitment to give back and strengthen your business value proposition.
- The Charity! Needy local or national charities get to benefit from your contributions of time, money and donations not to mention the great exposure they will get through your fundraising initiatives and media releases.
So, take the step towards a positive initiative which will reward your charity and your business. A WIN/WIN situation!
