Attention to detail is highly regarded when making long-term decisions. When choosing an office rental space, we also must think of ways in which our business can become proactive and involved in community upliftment projects.
To thrive and fulfil such community interactions or projects, one would have to onboard individuals with the correct mindset. This is the crucial part of creating a healthy community and to bring together like-minded people. Corporate social responsibility has become an important aspect which helps businesses build a better reputation and further aids brand awareness. Here are a few pointers on how to get the ball rolling:
Community involvement increases brand integrity:
A company that takes interest to identify needs in the community within its operation, is a company that has integrity as a core value. Whether it is by donating uniforms for the local soccer teams or setting up disaster management funds for crisis, the impact and relief it could bring to a community creates a lasting impact.
Host free training sessions:
To empower the youth and the elder generations, courses that are free to all participants willing to learn can be offered. Many people like to learn from the experts therefore, an entrepreneurial course could be offered. Simple gestures like these prove who is out to help their community versus who is only out to make a dime. Down the road, you may require assistance for your business, and those same people will remember you and want to help.
You could encourage your team to volunteer:
Volunteerism is something to be encouraged from all business owners. Employees who identify charities or worthy activities to undertake should be allowed the time to pursue their philanthropy and collaborate future efforts with the organisations they work for
Get the public involved:
A great project to extend a public invite to, would be a river clean up. Something of this nature does not involve any financial investment but only a personal time investment. People who are passionate about the earth and future sustainability could get the word out. As a thank you gesture your organisation can extend their appreciation to all participants by organizing refreshments with reusable environmentally friendly gift packs.
