Every business owner wants employees who are competent, hardworking and loyal. But even the best, most dynamic employees can lose their drive amidst the day-to-day slog. Facilitating community involvement and various forms of volunteerism however can boost individual performance and, ultimately, the bottom line. Here’s how…A 2017 poll found that given the choice, 68% of Canadians would choose a job with a company that has a strong volunteering culture over one that does not.
In the case of Rogers Media employee Leanne Paola, volunteering offered a valuable team-bonding opportunity. “It was really impactful; you get so caught up in the day-to-day so it was really nice to be outside the office and to see your co-workers working together to achieve a collective goal…we’re a stronger team when we work together and do these things, it bonds us at work and there’s definitely an appetite to do more as a team.
Oh barf. Higher wages create happier employees and more effective workplaces
