Companies
Volunteering gives employees the opportunity to build connections with the local communities where the companies they work for operate, which encourages both the recipients of those volunteer efforts and the volunteers themselves. It is important for leaders in companies to understand the benefits of volunteering and the impact volunteering has on both the company and the community when employees are inspired and supported to give back.
Joining Extreme Community Makeover for a Work Day incorporates volunteerism into your corporate culture, while providing the following benefits:
Build a stronger team. Volunteering as company creates camaraderie and boosts morale among employees whole working toward a common goal.
Demonstrate a commitment to giving back. Including paid time off for volunteering and options to volunteer during the work week shows that a company prioritizes service.
Strengthen employee connections. Volunteering as a team can build trust among co-workers outside of the office and allows the opportunity to chat, connect and get to know each other beyond the confines of an office setting.
Fundraise as a company. Matching donations or corporate donations will leave a good impression in the community.
