Increase Employee Productivity By Uniting Around A Good Cause

Reach Out to 3 Local Nonprofits

It’s amazing how many dedicated people are working toward a better future through nonprofits and charities. Once you’ve looked them over, email a few of them to learn more about how they engage with corporate entities.

If you’re a creative company, perhaps an ad agency, PR, marketing, or design firm, you can reach out to organizations that provide art & music programs for schools. If you’re a food company, connect with your local food bank and see how they structure their volunteering and donation campaigns. 

Have Your Employees Vote On Which Charity to Support

You can even let your employees vote on which charity they’d most like to support to ensure they are fully behind the mission! This is a cool way to measure buy-in and speak to why you are focused on earmarking some of the companies time and resources for these activities. As much as anything, creating an environment where your employees opinions matter means you’ll be reacting to real problems with solutions form folks who work on that every day. 

It’s just smart business.

Trusting your employees to give you great feedback should extend to how your company shows up in the community as well.

Final Thoughts

If you love the arts and want to give back in the Chicagoland area, you can always just reach out to us at IPaintMyMind via our Volunteers page and we’ll have you come install art at a local school with us!

Trust me, there is no lack of important work to support, and connecting your employees with opportunities to be together and give back will foster a sense of family and support that will make your business as productive as it’s always wanted to be, by helping you increase employee productivity.
